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 & Senate 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. Contact all of them.
