Exclamation Absolutely horrified!!

Yesterday I was told about a rescue centre in Scotland. When they get greyhounds in to the rescue they kill them, chop them up and feed them to the other rescue dogs. I cannot believe that someone who is obviously interested enough in dogs to have a rescue centre would do this.. It just goes to show how little some people think of these beautiful animals.

Another rescue. The vet from the rescue that they do this done an article or something on it but cant make it public because he wont be able to help the dogs there or something. I don't actually know much about it. Don't even know where it is or trust me i would be there right now! So sick.

um is that legal? So the vet witnessing this won't go to the officials because he wants to continue working? If that's true it is very sick...if its illegal its even more sick that nobody is doing anything

This is what i heard.
I would presume its illegal but killing greyhounds after their racing career i don't think is illegal so who knows?! It is very sick and horrible to know there is nothing i can do to stop this..

hmmm, sounds fishy to me...like an old wives tale...


if it is true, Iam not sure if its illegal, as long as the animals are euthanized first.

It sounds like an internet rumor to me too. It does not make sense at all. Why would one breed be singled out? How is it practical to cut up a dog carcass and feed it to other dogs? I mean butchering whole animals is a very messy process, and you would have big bones left over to dispose of, rotting and attracting flies. I can't imagine people working at a shelter would be part of such a thing for long, without calling the news media.

It happens to live in North UK...do you know where this rescue is? I have some friends and maybe I would be able to find out more about it...and see if it's true or not.

Sounds rather unbelieveable to me. There's no way the vet is "helping" the dogs at this rescue if he is allowing all the greyhounds to be euthanised and the other animals to be fed dog meat. In addition the only "humane" ways to euthanize dog is by gas or lethal injection, both of which would would ruin any "meat" you were planing on harvesting. Any other way a euthanizing would be considered inhumane and illegal in most areas and countries.

Did you know that if a pet food contains rendered meat or byproducts it has cows horses and beef that have been euthanized in it. So companies like Petagree and Purina do this regularly. There are statistics on the fda website that quote the percentage of the stuff that is in the food
