Greyhounds get support from Pamela Anderson
Pamela Anderson has might’ve read about the recent greyhound dog killings, because she wants to save the greyhounds of the world from the “cruel” world of racing.
The former Baywatch star, an ardent animal rights campaigner, has lashed out at the industry over their barbaric treatment of the dogs. In a furious rant on her official website, pamelaanderson.com, she attacks both breeders and trainers for making greyhounds’ lives a misery.
She angrily writes: “I can’t believe I still read about such ignorant blatant cruelty. Thousands of greyhounds are killed each year as the declining dog-racing industry struggles to stay alive. Some puppies are killed in the name of “selective breeding” before they ever touch a racetrack.
Dogs who do qualify to become racers typically live in cages, are kept muzzled by their trainers at all times and are forced to race in extreme conditions, ranging from subzero temperatures to sweltering heat of more than 100°F/38°C.
“Most dogs who slow down and become unprofitable are either killed immediately or sold to research laboratories.”
Pamela, an active member of animal rights group PETA, urges people to visit helpinganimals.com to learn more about the plight of the animals.
The blonde actress also pleads with other animal lovers to save a retired greyhound from certain death by adopting one.
She adds: “If you can offer a greyhound a good home, the Greyhound Protection League at greyhounds.org organizes adoption programmes throughout the United States.”
Pamela recently posed almost completely nude in the shop window of fashion designer Stella McCartney’s London (UK) store as part of an anti-fur protest.
