Call to Action on the Greyhound Protection Act!
Remember in March, it was enthusiastically added to the Farm Bill!
Finally, the Farm Bill will be voted on this week in the House of Rep. & it will outlaw Greyhound Racing throughout America forever!
But wait, our very own WV Rep. Riley Moore at the 11th hour is trying to derail this historic bill by filing Amendment #269 to dismantle the Greyhound Protection Act and create a permanent carve-out for West Virginia, the only state with live racing!
The greyhounds need your help now to defeat Amendment #269 & pass this bill. Please write to your House Members right away and tell them we do not want greyhound racing in our state. We want the $17 – $22 million yearly subsidy to end, to stop propping up this cruelty! It is just plain wrong for a single lawmaker to hold up progress for the greyhounds, and cause innocent dogs to continue to suffer and die in WV, especially when 80% of West Virginians oppose greyhound racing.
Share this with your friends in other states too to get this federal bill passed and to vote DOWN amendment #269.
