Close Hove Dog Track (CHDT)

Dear Sir/Madam,
We are petitioning for Brighton & Hove Greyhound Stadium to be closed and its licence removed because of the suffering and abuse of animals in the greyhound racing industry.
RSPCA, Dogs Trust, Blue Cross, Wood Green Animal Shelter and rescue charities have recently called for an end to greyhound racing in the UK.
We ask Brighton City Council to revoke the Coral Greyhound Stadium licence with a proposed five year phase out to ensure all dogs are safely re-homed.
Every week at this track at least two dogs fall, some sustain long term injuries and have even died.
10,000 dogs are removed from the racing circuit every year as more dogs are bred for the gambling industry.
The dogs may be exported outside of the UK for breeding and racing, killed as surplus to requirements or languish in isolation in kennels for the rest of their lives.
No dog should be injured or lose their life for entertainment.
The land in Nevill Road could be used for much needed affordable housing or used as an area that would benefit the local community.
Yours faithfully
