Monument 'Remember the Greyhounds'
2016 commemorates 90 years of greyhound suffering and death at the hands of the British greyhound racing industry which began in 1926
In 2006 Builders merchant, David Smith from County Durham had been found to have killed around ten thousand greyhounds by using a bolt gun to destroy them. Mr Smith was paid £10 for each dog he killed. It was reported that greyhound trainers came from all areas to have their dogs killed by Smith.
The below image shows flowers that have been placed by campaign groups 'GreytExploitations and Caged North West' at the entrance to the land where all the dogs were buried.

RIP to the thousands of poor souls who lost their lives at the killing fields in Co Durham
Throughout the years we have heard and seen many horrific cases of greyhound abuse and death.
Over one million greyhounds have died at the hands of the racing industry.
