The Hidden Truth of Greyhound Retirement
Picture
GBGB Award winning licensed trainer retirement kennel block in Ormskirk, Lancs
We have documented evidence in the interest of greyhound welfare. 
The dogs need your help now!  

Most recent case found:
Retired greyhounds are being kept in a damp shed in sub zero conditions.

A planning application has been submitted to Bradford Council. 

​Scroll down for further details.
Picture
The owner of this ramshackle shed has applied for retrospective planning permission from Bradford Council and stated clearly that it is to house dogs. Locals told us that the shed has been present, and contained dogs since around August 2020 and that both the RSPCA and local dog warden have been made aware.

Structure:
Exterior walls 12/18mm OSB sheet

(OSB are classed as general-purpose, non-loadbearing panels for interior fitments and furniture in dry conditions)
Timber frame made from 3"x 2" sawn timber
Roof Materials - Combination of 12/18mm OSB sheet material covered with roofing felt and in areas PVC corrugated roofing sheets. 

Window and door - UPVC plastic
Door and window facing away from road 
Lighting- Applicant claims street lighting is sufficient

No mention of electricity supply 
Ventilation - One small plastic vent is visible on the above photo
No mention of insulation
Picture
Our concerns
Lack of warmth (No electricity supply visible) - Lack of Ventilation (Risk of overheating in warm temperatures) - Lack of Supervision (Owner lives almost 2 miles away) - Poor hygiene and disease - No running water (No nearby tap visible) 
Dogs are confined to this area for up to 23hrs per day. 


In sub zero temperatures, drinking water begins to freeze

Greyhounds are particularly known for being unable to regulate their body temperatures as well as other breeds of dog. This means they are higher risk to hypothermia and Heat stroke. Both can lead to seizures and death.
​

The Animal Welfare Act 2006 requires dogs to be kept in a suitable environment.
​

Do you think this isolated ramshackle shed is suitable for the keeping of dogs? If you think not, please click the button to object to Bradford Council Planning Department. 
​

Deadline 01.03.21

Please note: Whilst it is not procedure for a Planning Committee to take animal welfare into account whilst a decision is being made; the applicant has made it clear that he is using the shed to contain dogs, and we would like to remind everyone involved that the requirements under the Act should not be contravened in any way.

Greyhounds are classed as retired even when they are retained by their trainer/owners, providing that a green retirement form is completed and submitted to the Greyhound Board of Great Britain.
Once no longer registered to race, the dogs welfare is NO longer the responsibility of the Greyhound racing industry governing body. 
Under current regulations there is no authority that has any duty to carry out routine inspections on 'retired' greyhound kennels.



Expired NOT Retired
Existing NOT Living


This is the sad reality of how many retired greyhounds are being rewarded after they make a profit for the greyhound racing industry and wealthy gambling establishments
Picture
Judith Glasper was provided with a kennel hand licence by the Greyhound Board of Great Britain just a year after her greyhounds were found existing in the most inhumane conditions imaginable.

Pelaw Grange GBGB Licensed Trainer Kept Dogs in Horrific Conditions on Local Allotment.
Picture
Caged and GRACE Rescue found the dogs had NO access to water, no heat and no proper bedding.
GBGB stipendiary stewards refused to attend, claiming they were NOT responsible for retired dogs. 
Pat Simpson admitted that one of the dogs was still actively racing.
​The RSPCA told us the conditions were fine. 
We had removed 4 dogs that were relinquished to GRACE by Pat Simpson - The RSPCA Inspector intervened and advised that they did not allow us to take anymore dogs. We were later told by residents that the remaining dogs were removed by the RSPCA inspector after we left the premises.
The RSPCA refused to tell us where the dogs had been taken to.

The Dorset 7 

In 2017 we received a phone call from a distraught lady claiming a former Poole greyhound trainer was preparing to have 7 greyhounds shot;
"Please can you help, I need to save some dogs that are going to be shot by the local hunt.... she really is going to kill them" 

1 week Later 


GBGB says "Retired dogs are not our responsibility"

The Former Poole Greyhound Trainer Tells an International Greyhound Rescuer;
"I will kill my dogs rather than give them to a rescue"
​
.....Days Later She Said
"Its done"



A Local Hunter calmly told us;
"I gave Eve the telephone number of the local hunt, so that they could shoot the dogs to put them out of their misery. The dogs are suffering so badly.. I have lost weight and sleep because of what I witnessed"
 
 "Dogs are locked up in the dark wet kennels for 24 hrs per day, and some are being slowly starved to death before they are placed into bin bags and disposed of"

Dorset Police were informed of the circumstances surrounding this case. 
The RSPCA told us that the former trainer refused to answer questions of what happened to the dogs and she appeared to be suffering from dementia. 
Mrs Blanchard showed no signs of forgetfulness or confusion when speaking with Caged and actually arranged a date and time for us to arrive at her kennels where she was waiting for us when we arrived days later.
