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,
