This dog is owned by Michelle Connolly. She is currently serving a 10 year ban from keeping, owning or breeding dogs having pled guilty to several counts of cruelty to dogs in 2022. The Irish greyhound board's disregard for animal welfare has never been more clearly on display.

Crafty Shivoo, winner of tonights Laurels in #Cork, #Ireland, owned by a Michelle Connolly, a woman BANNED from owning dogs. Make it make sense?

It's only a sport when both sides know they are playing. For the hare, this is a life or death run from a pair of predators. Terrorising a wild animal is not Sport.
Hare terrorised by dogs in cruel coursing - a bloodsport licensed by Ministers @DarraghOBrienTD and @Noonan_Malcolm. Join us in urging the Irish Government @LeoVaradkar @MichealMartinTD @EamonRyan to #BanHareCoursing banbloodsports.wordpress.com… #Ireland #AnimalCruelty
In every country where commercial #GreyhoundRacing takes place, we see mass overbreeding and abhorrent disposal methods of those unwanted #Dogs. When gambling based profit is based on an animal's life, is it any wonder they become a disposable commodity?

Young Adults are one of the most at-risk groups for #ProblemGambling. Many recovering addicts have similar stories; how exposure to #Gambling as children and the normalisation of it as a "silly night out" or "fun innocent thing to do" was part of their spiral to addiction.
Children being encouraged to gamble - shame on #GreyhoundRacing industry as if #AnimalCruelty isn't enough!

Ban cruel hare coursing: Thank you to Zoe and @GreyhoundRobert for attending the protest outside Powerstown Park #Clonmel on Saturday. Please join calls on the Irish Government @LeoVaradkar @MichealMartinTD @EamonRyan @DarraghOBrienTD to #BanHareCoursing banbloodsports.wordpress.com…
Over the #bankholidayweekend , both hound and hare ran for their lives in #Clonmel. The #Hares have no concept of sport, and run terrified from dogs capable of mauling them even when muzzled. The hounds ran to earn their kennel space, who knows where they will end up...

The whole new bank holiday marred by #HareCoursing #AnimalAbuse in #Clonmel. Really is this the best you can do for this once beautiful town. Its name now synonymous wirh #AnimalCruelty. Stay away from the town use your money to support something worthwhile @banbloodsports
The #IrishHare is under immense pressure from habitat loss, disease and illegal poaching, yet coursing clubs still receive an exemption from animal protection laws to round up, confine and chase hares across fields for "fun". Seems counter productive to animal welfare no?
Outdated. Inhumane. Barbaric.
#HareCoursing belongs in the history books. Neither Hound nor #Hare win in this twisted "sport", both suffer at the hands of those who find perverted pleasure in watching a wild animal run scared from a pair of dogs.

Dear Reggie aka Gougane Jet.
Just wanted to let you know that you are not forgotten.
The owners of your UK kennel have had an interesting and busy time since you were exported to CHINA
Sadly you can be neither rescued nor 'retired' in China
💚🐾💔😭

“#Greyhounds aren’t sent to China anymore!” -every trainer, owner and racing apologist
Yet poor Fahan Rebel joins the list, after breaking records at Lifford track, he earned a one way ticket to China, where he joins other #Irish born and bred greyhounds like Havana Class 😔
Another Irish Greyhound exported to a life of misery, but this one thankfully looks like a happy ending!

They say they love their dogs. They say welfare is at the heart of everything they do… Would a loving, caring owner keep their dogs in such places? No wonder, when the lucky few greyhounds find a real home, they are referred to as rescued. #BanGreyhoundRacing #CutTheChase apda

The inspector said she" could hear other dogs barking and asked Ms Connolly what was in a shed... Connolly said there were no dogs there. However, when Ms Carroll entered the shed she saw.. six greyhounds which Ms Connolly said had been left for training"

Premier greyhound racing claims to prioritise welfare are a sham. @PremGreyRacing @GreyhoundBoard

Rescued greyhounds Molly and Robert are feeling sleepy but also very disappointed that @Battersea_ are not moving with the times and calling for a phased ban on greyhound racing like all the other UK major animal welfare charities.
