Dear
Sir
I am writing to you regarding greyhound racing in Vietnam. I am
aware that greyhounds that are surplus to requirements are being
slaughtered.
Abusing animals in the name of entertainment and then killing them
for human consumption is NOT a tourist attraction and it will
inevitably have a negative effect on your tourist trade.
The greyhound racing industry has been in decline for many years
especially in the USA where the industry has had massive financial
losses.
This is for several reasons, the first being that it has been
recognised as a cruel sport and banned in many states in the USA
and even more recently it has been abolished in South Africa.
The second reason is that by far more profitable ventures such as
lotteries and casinos have increased in popularity and attracted
the public and the tourist trade.
The third reason is that greyhound racing attracts and is
associated with illegal activities such as the criminal underworld
and the use of illegal drugs as recently exposed in a documentary
by the BBC.
I urge you to reconsider and keep greyhound racing out of Vietnam
and Cambodia. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Name
