Action for Greyhounds

PETERBOROUGH GREYHOUND TRACK 18.02.2012

keely — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 19:56:31 +0000

12 dedicated greyhound protection campaigners held a peaceful protest outside this track.
It seemed a fairly quiet night judging by the car park not looking very full and ONLY 1 half empty coach going in……so a much lower attendance compared to our last protest in January.

Judging by the amount of leaflets being taken by motorists driving into the track and the amount who were slowing down to read the banners, it would suggest that many of them are not regular race-goers and were probably just being enticed in by the special offers the stadium had this evening.

We can only hope many of them will take note of the protest and the leaflets and will not be returning.

Anyone wishing to support the track protests at Peterborough please contact Rose Greyhound Action in Peterborough (G.A.I.P) on 07884163205.
