“Seeing is believing. It’s hard to argue with that isn’t it? Even for a politician voting on something they know nothing about. Well, that’s the theory, as greyhound racing @GreyhoundBoard fights back against those opposing the sport with little knowledge of reality.
Greyhound racing’s ’Seeing is Believing' campaign is headed up by @AbbieMacGregor3, Director of Corporate Affairs at the Greyhound Board.
“Horse racing @BHAHorseracing should take note. And be so much more vocal in a similar way…🏇🙏 Yeeehaaa! thesun.co.uk/sport/40653594/…

Neil Duncan-Jordan MP @NeilForPoole says "a dog died every other day in greyhound racing last year."
The actual figure is slightly less than that. And track deaths have fallen 62% since 2017. Regulation is working.
Meanwhile 230,000 pets were put to sleep by owners who could not afford to keep them in a single year. That is over 600 a day.
The RSPCA calls French bulldogs "born to suffer." At least 20 are born every day. They’re not vet checked before their next walk.
340,000 pets needed food bank support in 2024.
If this were about dog welfare, that is where MPs would be looking.

🥇 Breaking level, Magical Jason quickly put himself into contention before powering around the opening bend to seize the lead. Pulling clear of his rivals, he ran out a good winner in Heat 3 of the Elite Southern Supplies Northamptonshire Sprint at Towcester on Sunday.
I’ve rarely wanted one of my dogs to win more than Sami (Jazzy Soul) here from T5 - matters not a jot that it was a 4 runner D2. Written off by the vets with kidney issues but brilliantly put back together by @HjDimmock and Mick Pacey 👏🙏

🥇 Jazzy Duke makes it a double on the day for the team, producing a dominant display to land the Betway Standard Open Race. Pulling away from the field with authority, he storms home six-and-a-half lengths clear in impressive fashion!

Off the back of some wild accusations on an @TheIrishField podcast during the week - We’re told that greyhounds are not part of social settings & queried over how they are raised.
Here’s our 4 boys showing how social they are at just 4 weeks.
Door is open - Seeing is believing – at Waterford, Ireland

🥇 Jazzy Duke showed real grit in the Orchestrate Maiden! Forced wide at the first turn, he battled back to reel in the leader before surging up the inside late on to score in style—completing a superb hat-trick for the team! 👏

🗣️"It is clear they care strongly for their greyhounds, and for their sport, and if you are able to visit their next open day do pop along"
Great to see @SteveBarclay MP visit @Kelliw150 and her team to see behind the scenes at a racing kennel in his constituency.

Is guarding Syndicates in the Greyhound Derby a new thing for this race only or is that something that goes across the board now @TowcesterOffice ?
