Princess Pippa
Monday June 27th
Despite The Irish Greyhound Board’s claims – that ‘our record on welfare is exemplary’ and ‘the welfare initiatives introduced by the industry are looked on around the world as a model of best practice’ - an ex racing greyhound is found abandoned petrified – neglected and abused.
Thankfully Princess Pippa is now safe and in the care of PAWS Ireland and is recovering very slowly. Please visit their website to learn of the wonderful work they do http://www.paws.ie/
