Cooper hits out at welfare claims of his former employer RSPCA
GBGB chairman Jeremy Cooper has responded strongly to a recent RSPCA opinion piece published by website Nation Cymru following the proposed call for a ban on greyhound racing in Wales.
The response, link below, has also been published in full by Nation Cymru.
Cooper wrote: "I read with utter dismay the opinion piece by Dr Samantha Gaines of the RSPCA on 8th March, and feel, as chairman of the Greyhound Board of Great Britain and former CEO of the RSPCA, it is my duty to provide a factual response to her grossly exaggerated claims."
He concldes: "The RSPCA’s position on greyhound racing, and their clear disregard for facts and evidence, should be a sharp wake-up call for those involved in any animal activity, from horseracing to sheep herding, mounted police to dog agility – no matter how much you invest in animal welfare, for the animal rights lobby it will never be enough."
