The Scary Bex Diaries

It's the penultimate race of the mid-day meeting on 13 January at Hall Green greyhound track, Birmingham. As the dogs hurtle down the back straight a stomach-churning crack is heard across the stadium and Gulleen Star quickly pulls up. According to the dog's trainer Alan Bodell, the black male had "smashed his hock (left) completely in half." The trainer further ads: "You just have to put them out of their misery as quick as possible. I've been in it (greyhound racing) long enough now to know what happens, it's just not nice."

The 18th November marked the fifth anniversary of the Royal Assent of the 2004 Hunting Act.

It was a day on which this country made a clear statement that hunting with dogs had no place in

modern Britain.

But not everyone was pleased. There are those who've been lobbying for the ban's repeal since day one. They think they're getting closer to their aim but you can help stop them in their tracks.

to send a message to your local candidates, asking whether they support the return of this barbaric

practice

Those who want to see the return of the grotesque spectacle of hounds tearing foxes apart think that they can do so despite opposition from the British people.

They know the public don't support using dogs to tear foxes apart - and they know that they can only make progress by keeping quiet about their aims and lobbying behind the scenes.

Together we can expose their plans and bring public pressure to bear to stop this happening.
