Stop Greyhound Slaughter Members Needed Now More Than Ever!

Hi all and sorry it's been so long. Things have been absolutely manic here but hopefully I'll be on and posting updates, news and articles regularly from now on. I'm posting the newest notice posted in the Stop Greyhound Slaughter Facebook cause today. Please join if you are on Facebook. Otherwise, check out the link and spread the word!

Hi all,

As usual with all of these messages, thanks so much for joining this cause and your continued membership. Also, thank you for all the wonderful donations that we have had in recent weeks. Every penny and stamp is very much appreciated at the moment given the dire state of the economic climate worldwide. Every donation is vital and every voice that is added to this cause is one more voice towards saving the Greyhound from diabolicle treatment that the breed in no way deserves.

I have two favours to ask of everyone today.

First of all, please take a look at this link - Stop Greyhound Slaughter. I put it on the blog this morning and it decribes the way in which one Greyhound was starved, thrown into a deserted factory and left to die. Please send it to all your friends and let them know just how cruel these "people" are.

Secondly, we now have a little over 18,000 members. Please please please keep inviting all your friends, post the link on blogs and get people joining up to make a stand. Can we try for 20,000 by August 15th? That's 2000 more members in a month. Come on people, we can do it!

Finally, I will be setting a donation target in the next few hours. If you can spare even $5 it would be very much appreciated. I haven't included this in the favour list because I know how tight many people are finding their finances at the moment. If you can thenplease do, if not just invite as many friends as you can to the cause today and help us boost the numbers. After all, 20,000 members would be an absolutely fantastic achievement.

Thanks again guys for all your hard work. You will never have any idea how much I appreciate it.

This cause is so great to save Greyhounds from cruel people. You might also want to save these dogs by virtually or personally fostering them: http://apps.facebook.com/save-a-dog/

This post gave me the chills. It's terrible that animals are treated this way!!

I just started working for a coffee company recently that directly supports The Mobile Greyhound Adoption Center. Green Tree Coffee & Tea produces several "dog friendly" blends of coffee and donates $1 per pound sold to that specific adoption center. -- I wish more people would treat animals with the love and respect that they deserve!!!

Anyway, just thought you might be interested in checking out our website -- especially if you're a coffee/tea drinker!!

Raising awareness about these issues is very important. We should reveal and stop those who exploit these poor animals. Thanks for sharing this article!
