Join Us in Tucson and Phoenix for Meetings to End Dog Racing!
Dear Friends,
The moment has finally come! Senate Bill 1294, GREY2K USA's bill to end dog racing in Arizona by 12/31/10, has been filed by Arizona State Senators Paula Aboud and Jonathan Paton. HB 2637, a bill to immediately ban the use of anabolic steroids in racing greyhounds, has also been filed. Together, these two bills will make history and help thousands of greyhounds in the Grand Canyon state.
But now we need your help to pass these groundbreaking pieces of legislation.
Please join me and Kari Nienstedt of the Humane Society of the United States for organizational meetings in Tucson and Phoenix later this month. You will receive information about greyhound racing in Arizona and meet some of the many people who will be working together to end this cruelty.
