R.A.G.S. (Rescues Against Greyhound Subsidies) was formed in 1995 after watching the television program on the BBC called "Here & Now".

That program was to act as a catalyst for one of the biggest controversies pertaining to animal welfare.

R.A.G.S. began to research the possibility of launching a campaign to abolish the Grant Aid that was being made available to Irish Rural farmers supporting the increase in the numbers of greyhounds that are produced each year.

                                               

                                                  We, at R.A.G.S. believe that this motto will one day become a reality.

There are already too many Greyhounds.

What will be the plight of the EuroDog? We, in our opinion believe that they will become the   waste product of an Industry that's in trouble. A recent survey that was conducted by "The Greyhound Star" looks into the problem of falling attendance's at N.G.R.C. Race Tracks

                                                                                                  

                          Many Rescue and Welfare Organisations have joined with R.A.G.S. in the fight to ban these Grants. Many such organisations include:

BleakHolt Animal Sanctuary

Blue Cross

Doberman Welfare

Greyhound Friends (America)

Greyhound Friends (UK)

Greyhound Network News

N.C.D.L.

to name but a few.
