In Memory of Snip Nua
14.12.10
Today marks the anniversary of Snip Nua’s tragic death in circumstances that saw her affluent syndicate owners – to include comedian Dara O’Brien - deny her veterinary treatment for a treatable racing injury and the right to be afforded a 'Duty of Care'
As with all racing greyhounds - Snip was purposely bred into the world of dog racing simply to entertain her owners and generate money for the gambling industry and once she could no longer fulfil those duties and of no use for breeding – her fate was sealed.
More tragically - the BBC featured and used Snip Nua to publicise greyhound racing to an international audience – fully in the knowledge that she had already been destroyed weeks before the programme in which she starred – Three Men Go To Ireland - was broadcast.
Please light a candle and spare a few moments silence for not only Snip Nua but the thousands of greyhounds who are needlessly destroyed by racing industries worldwide - who condone and effectively promote the destruction of dogs purely because injuries are deemed to be ‘uneconomic to treat’
In memory of Snip Nua - Tomasz Adamski has beautifully captured her spirit and donated the pastel to raise funds for Action For Greyhounds – who campaign tirelessly for the protection of greyhounds and rescue - rehabilitate and rehome dogs when resources allow.
The EBay auction will finish this evening at 9.40pm - the date and time reflecting when Snip was callously destroyed after sustaining a treatable racing injury.
