1) To raise public awareness of the plight of greyhounds used for racing, gambling, and entertainment purposes, including those who retire from licensed tracks, further exploited for commercial use.
This includes:
a) Greyhounds officially retired from British and Irish licensed greyhound racing who are being exported for commercial use overseas, where there are little to no greyhound protection laws or homing programmes.
b) Greyhounds who retire from licensed greyhound racing and are passed down to hobbyists who race them at unregulated race-tracks. These tracks often have the poorest of animal welfare conditions, with little to no intervention from any animal welfare bodies.
c) Greyhounds retained by licensed owners and trainers for breeding purposes after they retire from racing at licensed tracks, either due to injury, age, or simply because they are not competitive enough.
2) To observe the treatment of dogs within the greyhound racing industry with an aim to prevent unnecessary suffering, until greyhound racing is no longer existent.
3) To collate evidence of cruelty and bring it to the attention of the ministerial departments where necessary.
4) In rare circumstances where we may gain substantial evidence of greyhound suffering in conjunction with any breaches of the Animal Welfare Act 2006; we may carry out private criminal prosecutions where absolutely necessary to prevent further suffering.
