On June 2, 2016, hundreds of people opposed to the export of Irish greyhounds came together for a rally for the dogs. Greyhound advocates and adoption leaders from Australia, Italy, Macau, United Kingdom and the United States assembled with John Carmody and ARAN (Animal Rights Action Network) outside the Dept. of Agriculture, where GREY2K USA delivered our petition with over 300,000 signatures to Agriculture Minister Michael Creed. The rally ended with a march to the doors of Parliament and a meeting with lawmakers.
