Attempts by dog racing industry partakers and greyhound exporters to discredit Caged are failing
In 2016 Caged Nationwide discovered Irish and British raced greyhounds being exported to China. Following a trip to China, Caged began finding an increasing number of Irish and British raced greyhounds were being sent to unscrupulous Chinese breeders. Paperwork was exposed in addition to details of previous Irish and British trainers/owners. By use of this information, and Caged passing it onto rescuers, several Irish and British raced greyhounds were located and brought back to safety in the UK, by a sister group of Greyhound Protection UK.
Caged went undercover and began liaising with suspects involved with exports to gather further information, including names of exporters and agents involved in the exports of dogs. Gradually gaining their trust, we were able to learn more about the exports and those involved.
In the process we learnt of ICC paperwork containing the details of one dog named Brinkleys Blaze 'formerly raced and retired in the UK' was held by a breeder in China. This breeder used the name KOKO, and he claimed to have purchased Brinkleys Blaze for breeding purposes.
We obtained the ear tattoos and microchip details for both Brinkleys Blaze and the dog who had appeared to be sent to China in the guise of Brinkleys Blaze. We contacted the ICC to learn that the dog that had been exported in the guise of Brinkleys Blaze was actually another industry dog named Dees Big Fella.
Caged are now offering a £5,000 reward in return for evidence substantiating the details surrounding the export of Dees Big Fella and the person responsible for sending him to China in the guise of Brinkleys Blaze.
Since uncovering this scam, we have publicly asked questions regarding this particular export and have received a very dark reaction from certain members of the pro racing community, specifically those in the Southern region of England, which in addition to the data on the ICC form, leads us to believe Dees Big Fella may have been sent from the South of England.
It seems we have stumbled on dangerous territory and stirred up a lot of anger within the pro racing community in Ireland, UK and even China, and especially with exporters who are working in connection with Chinese breeders.
Caged discussions that had taken place undercover with Chinese breeders via facebook began leaking out, yet 'not in full context' meaning screen-shots were being manipulated and photoshopped in attempt to discredit Caged findings.
We will continue to find and expose the names of all involved with Chinese and Pakistan exports. Both Pakistan and China have no updated animal welfare laws whatsoever. Greyhounds have ZERO protection from torture and death in these parts of Asia.
We shall not be intimidated by lies circulated within the pro racing community and our work shall continue as usual.

Greyhound Data was no doubt caused great embarrassment when Caged Nationwide brought to public attention that Brinkleys Blaze had been homed by Greyhound Trust in Great Britain and was not actually in China as Greyhound Data had claimed.
On Monday 17th February 2020 Caged announced that we had contacted the ICC at 9am and confirmed that Dees Big Fella tattoos matched those of the dog sent to China in the guise of Brinkleys Blaze. From then onwards we began discussions with the Chinese breeder who had purchased Dees Big Fella (More to come shortly)

Facebook discussion between Caged and Chinese breeder/buyer of Dees Big Fella - Caged attempt to save Dees Big Fella offering the Chinese breeder £5000 and an exposure of the Chinese greyhound importer who he claimed scammed him, namely 'Wang Gang'.
The breeder became greedy asking Caged for £30,000 in return for Dees Big Fella, then quickly disappeared after claiming that someone from the UK had contacted him..
We remain curious as to who contacted the breeder from the UK, in order for him to quickly abandon the conversation!

- Caged have been collating evidence of false allegations made by the GBGB ambassadors and a known tipster. Some allegations include fabricated WhatsApp messages.
- Caged do NOT use WhatsApp when dealing with the exports of greyhounds.
- We are now seeking legal representation in this case and will update as necessary.
- We are aware of Apps that can be used to fabricate WhatsApp messages.
- We should mention that we became a target for industry partakers since going public with our decision to prosecute greyhound trainers where there is any breach of the AWA2006.
- We shall not be intimidated and will continue to protect greyhounds regardless of threats, intimidation, and lies made against us.
