Our Press Conference! Please help us end the suffering of our greyhounds! Some economic reasons for putting down that track!
SIGN OUR PETITION AND BE OUR VOLUNTEER:
PLEASE HELP US END THE SUFFERING OF OUR GREYHOUNDS !
In less than one day, after we launched our petition, we already have online 1,457 supporters (up to 10:00 am Macau time) and around hundreds of signatures in Macau, even not going yet to the streets!
If you are an animal lover or if you respect the rights of the animals, please put an end to a business that is shaming all of us and hurting animals that run for their life and not for fun!
Anima will begin to disclose everyday figures about this bloody business, collected from the track website and the official information of Macau departments, economic figures, environment  figures and information about the situation of the animals in that track!
Please, if you have pictures or any other information that usually is not made public, please send to us.
See some economic figures:
1. They produce in one year the equivalent of four hours what is produced by the Macau casinos!
2. They pay only 25 per cent for taxes over the income, not 40 per cent as the casinos!
3. They paid in 1985 for taxes  50 per cent over income, lowered in 1988 to 35 per cent and lowered again to 25 per cent after 2005!
4. The concession ends at the end of this year!
5. If the track paid the same tax as the casinos, in 2013 and 2014 the government should pocket an extra money of 48,450,000 patacas, enough to make them closing doors AS NON PROFITABLE!
6. Calculate now how much they should have paid to the Macau Government if they play according to the same rules of the other casinos from the liberalization of the casino industry in 2002!
7. The annual income of the track s going down. Last year reduced 18.5 per cent from 178 million to 145 million patacas!
8. Up to 2007, the retain results of that track were always negative!
9. Only after 2008, the track began to make profit, and the lowering of the taxation to 25 per cent has helped them a lot! If not, they may not survive!
10. A silly question: why the owners of the track want to continue that business if they lost money for so many years or will loose money if not “protected” by the Macau Government?
We trust you!
Please sign our petition online in animamacau.org or through our volunteers that are collecting signatures all over Macau!
Please help us to help them!
Thank You!
