Dear xxxxx,

It has just come to my attention that your company is sponsoring greyhound racing in  [industry state].

This is quite a problem for me as I very strongly oppose greyhound racing.

The reason that I oppose greyhound racing is due to the many ways that the industry exploits these gentle and sweet creatures and others through live baiting, drugging, cage confinement and withholding of proper food and veterinary care. I have numerous news articles substantiating my claims. In addition, 17,000 healthy greyhounds are killed in Australia every year because they are not fast enough, stop winning races, get injured on the track or get older.

Below is a list of just a handful of recent articles that report on the cruelty and corruption in the industry:

Could you please confirm that you are currently sponsoring Greyhound Racing and if you plan to continue in the future?

Thank you,
