QCA targets greyhound racing industry over cruelty issue
Quaker Concern for Animals has announced a new partnership with n Greyhound Compassion
Quaker Concern for Animals (QCA) has announced a new partnership with the organisation Greyhound Compassion in a bid to raise awareness over the issue of cruelty in the greyhound racing industry.
Thom Bonneville, from QCA, told the Friend: ‘We are always looking for ways to support our members in their concerns. Jo Hill is very active with Greyhound Compassion and their overseas affiliate, Scooby, so we wanted to bolster her personal demonstration of faith in action by using QCA’s media resources to publicise their work.’
The partnership will report on events featuring the organisation’s greyhound ‘Magic’, a rescued racer from Nottingham track, as ‘a fun and effective way of raising awareness of abuse in the racing industry’.
QCA is also planning a ‘briefing’ leaflet on greyhound exploitation to download from their website, which Friends can post at their Local Meetings or hand out at tracks.
