Anima – International Roundtable on Greyhounds (I)!
Anima has organized on 23-24 July an International Roundtable on Greyhounds inviting 10 Animal Welfare Organizations from around the world.
These were the participants organizations: CAWA-China Animal Welfare Association from Beijing, SPCA(Taiwan), SPCA (HK), Kirsten (HK), Animals Asia (HK), Animals Asia (China), Animals Australia, RSPCA (Australia), RSPCA (UK) and GREY2K USA Worldwide.
Several issues were discussed (situation of the greyhounds around the world, cruelty in training animals in Australia using live animals, strong cooperation of all organizations to curb any initiative to open any new track in the world especially in the area, etc) being the Greyhounds track of Macau (The Canidrome) the main centre of all the event.
All organizations recommended the Macau Chief Executive not to renew the concession contract of the Canidrome when it expires at the end of this year and ask for the land to be given back to the community!
Anima and all those organizations will work together to find families to all those gentle animals!
All organizations also asked AAPAM and APCVM, the only two Macau animal welfare organizations that have not showed its support against the Canidrome, to join us.
A letter to the Chief Executive signed by all organizations was delivered to the representative of the Chief
Executive, the President of IACM.
Two letters addressed to AAPAM and APCVM were also signed and will be posted and emailed next Monday!
Around 280 thousand people supported our petition that continues on-line until the Canidrome closes!
Summing to our petition the numbert of all the other three petitions organized by different organizations to support us, more than 400 thousand people support our Greyhounds and ask their freedom!
Please help us to end the suffering of our greyhounds!
