REMEMBERING RUSTY
In May 2004, Rusty was found dying on a Welsh hillside, with a bolt gun shot to the head and his ears cut off to stop him from being identified through his ear tattoos.
Even though he had been tortured, mutilated and left to die for three days, Rusty was still alive and managed to welcome his rescuers with a wag of the tail when he was found, but his wounds were so extensive that the vet could do nothing for him but gently put him to sleep.
Eleven years on, responding to the invitation of antiracing organizations like Caged Northwest, we want to remember Rusty, so that his death, and that of thousands of greyhounds who are slaves of the racing industries in Ireland and Great Britain, does not remain unpunished.
Europe cannot tolerate this barbarism: greyhound racing should be banned and the tracks closed in all the countries where it exists.
On the 30th of April and 1st of May we will put Rusty’s image on our Facebook pages and join events taking place in the various Italian cities where we will be remembering him.
Those of us who are believers will say a prayer for him and all those who died like him, but whose names we do not know.
Apart from joining the event on the 30th of April and the 1st of May, let’s support the groups and organisations who take a coherent stand against the racing industry, and let’s not adopt from groups in Italy who collaborate with the IGB or the GBGB. http://www.cagednw.co.uk/remember-rusty.html
