Why this petition matters

Started by Natasha Choolun

Update : 15th January  2024

  • Currently, there is greyhound track situated in Xuan Thanh Beach, Ha Tinh, located in Hoa Tien. This track has been hosting races since 2014, yet the distressing fact remains that no greyhounds have been re homed and they continue to be bred and raced.
  • The Lam Son Stadium in Vung Tau, was opened in 2000, it was forced to shut down in March 2023 as its license expired. 200 greyhounds that have been used for racing are subjected to appalling living conditions, abuse, and ultimately face the fate of being sold to the BARBARIC dog and cat meat trade. Additionally there countless Greyhounds at the Ba Ria Greyhound training facility farm that are still being bred and suffering the same fate as all Greyhounds that are surplus to racing and breeding ending up being SKINNED ALIVE in the Horrific Dog and Cat meat markets in Vietnam.
  • Another track is currently under construction at the Hien Ma Horse Racing – Madagui project. This project has been granted a two-year extension and approval for the construction of a dog racing track
  • There is also a dog and ridgeback racing track in Phu Quoc. Shockingly, these horrific events are being utilised as a means to attract tourism.

UPDATE 20th March 2023
PLEASE PROTEST
Please contact the Minister for Culture Sports and Tourism bovanhoathethaodulich@chinhphu.vn

Urge them NOT to renew the license for Greyhound Racing and Not to RELOCATE Greyhound Racing.

Vung Tau's BARBARIC Greyhound Racing Track is closing after 23 years and although the current license expired on March 10th, 2023, the stadium will no longer be a Greyhound race track.


Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean Greyhound Racing has been banned in Vietnam as Animal Abuser Nguyen Ngoc My who is responsible for Greyhound racing and the Greyhound Massacre in Vietnam as there has been NO rehoming of Greyhounds for over 23 years is trying to extent the racing licence which is still not been confirmed.


Additionally The Sports and Entertainment Services JSC his company is building another new Greyhound racetrack in Lam Dong Province approx. 5 hours from Vung Tau.

Unfortunately, Lam Son's 400 Greyhounds will be kept at the Ba Ria farm where conditions are horrific and where majority of Greyhounds that are surplus to racing and breeding requirements are being KILLED by lethal injection of PAINFUL POISON into their HEARTS or SOLD to the SICKENING Dog and Cat Meat trade where they are SKINNED ALIVE alongside other terrified Dogs and Cats for human consumption.

This needs to be STOPPED please continue to circulate the petition to stop the building of the new stadium in Lam Dong province and stop the renewal of the licence.

UPDATE : Protest to stop the renewal of the 25 yrs licence in 2023.

The Greyhounds in Vietnam are also suffering horrific cruelty from cradle to the grave. Since greyhound racing began 20 yrs ago no greyhounds have been re homed. This greyhound massacre
continues today.

Greyhound puppies and  the Greyhounds that fail the grade also sustain injuries or are no longer fast enough and are surplus to requirement are being killed every month where it know as the killing day . Where these poor greyhounds are injected with painful poison into their hearts and die a painful death.

Additionally Greyhound are also being sold to the dog and cat meat trade where they are being torched and skinned alive along side other suffering dogs.

These barbarities have to STOP there is no place for animal cruelty in the 21st century .


This is an urgent plea, for the Forgotten Greyhounds Of Vietnam

Animals Australia have documented the horrific treatment of Greyhounds in Cambodia and Vietnam South East Asia and have shown that Greyhounds are ending up being skinned and boiled alive alongside other poor suffering breeds of dogs in the barbaric dog and cat meat trade for human consumption. As well the Lam Son Stadium located in Vung Taun rack has a killing day every month, where the track kills the Greyhounds that are no longer able to run by injecting a poison into their heart.

Nguyen Ngoc My who owns Sports and Entertainment Services Ltd who owns the Greyhound racing rack in Vung Tau well as his additional racing company Indo China Racing has been trying to develop horse and greyhound racing track in Cambodia and Vietnam and has been granted a 25 year licence to and its up for renewal in 2024 . This must be stopped  and Greyhound Racing Ban and the put an end to the horrific murder of Greyhounds. 

Nguyen Ngoc My has also been operating a Greyhound breeding facility since 2008  with the help of John Sewell and possibly even earlier. As well as  being involved with the exportation of Greyhound to Vietnam and Cambodia and South Asia.

There has been no REHOMING of Greyhounds In Vietnam/Southeast Asia . Since the track opened there has no no Greyhounds rehomed and there are no opportunities to rehome greyhound in Vietnam. This has meant  that thousands  and thousands of Greyhounds have been bred  and raced to DEATH .

Greyhounds that are surplus to requirements are either being sold to the Dog and Cat Meat Trade or killed each month on a day they have labeled  KILLING  day where they are injecting with  lethal poison into their hearts this is a painful and slow death where the dogs die screaming in agony. 

Where are all the countless Greyhounds  that were exported to Vietnam from racing and breeding .WHERE ARE THEY NOW!!!!!!

 

Below is relevant articles and evidence of the horrific treatment and the licensing in Vietnam.

  •  Nguyen Ngoc My opened the first Vietnamese dog track, Lam Son Stadium, in 2000 after being granted a 25 year license. He has also been granted a 30 year license for greyhound racing in neighbouring Cambodia, and is working to introduce dog racing there.
