Ireland Greyhound With No Ears

[AlbertJ 569]

After we had established that neither I or any game fair staff had benefitted from, or been involved in, the collection at our event in 2013 for a greyhound found in poor condition with its ears cut off in June 2013. I got to wondering what happened to the greyhound and to my surprise 'right on cue' in tonight's Belfast Telegraph there was Norman - now the happy and well looked after pet of the manager of the Mid Antrim Animal Centre.

 

So whoever donated money , collected the money and handed it over there must be a certain satisfaction in seeing an ill used animal back in full health.

 

So for me anyway a happy ending to this story.

cxxxs cut the ears off when they abandon them so they cant trace them with the tattoo in ears

Unbelievably sick

I take it every greyhound that's registered for racing will have to have a microchip from here on in

Nice to see a happy ending.

It became law last week in the R.O.I. to ensure your dogs are micro-chipped.

Our local radio ,LMFM, gave the anti Bernie Wright her couple of minutes airtime and she said more or less that micro-chipping will be great to see as it should end the abandonment and cutting off of ears on racing and coursing greyhounds. No mention of other types, just greyhounds.

It's a pity her likes get their two minutes of fame and it's a pity that the stupid actions of one Moran dirty a whole sport.
