    Greyhounds are continuing to suffer and die in Ireland's cruel greyhound racing industry, shocking new statistics reveal. The Irish Greyhound Board's dog death data was furnished to Clare Daly TD in response to Dail Questions. It shows that in 2017, 357 greyhounds suffered injuries at tracks around the country. A total of 124 of these dogs were destroyed at the tracks. The greyhounds sustained injuries to legs, wrists, shoulders, backs, tails, muscles and toes. The latest figures follow similarly horrifying information published in the Irish Examiner earlier this month which confirmed that in 2016, 427 greyhounds suffered on-track injuries and a total of 139 greyhounds were put down. These appalling statistics, and the suffering they reflect, make it clear that greyhound racing should be ended in Ireland and the government must immediately stop propping up the industry with millions of euros of taxpayers' money. We are renewing our appeal to the public to stay away from tracks, to companies to stop sponsoring races and to schools and sports clubs to stop fundraising at tracks. ACTION ALERT Don't attend greyhound races or community fund-raisers held at greyhound tracks (these are a significant source of funding for the greyhound industry). Contact the Irish Government now.
