Goodbye 2021 - Thank you to our supporters for an amazing year!2021 has been a huge year for us here at Free the Hounds! We are so proud of our achievements here are just a few of them:
🤲 Fundraised over $18,000 for Candy Cane rescue to save greyhounds & other dogs from the meat trade.
🧠Celebrated the Macau Canidrome survivors Gotcha Day with a walk & dog friendly cake.
🪧 Held 4 successful protests: Hyde Park Walk, Perth Cup, Parliament House and New Years Eve.
â˜€ï¸ Attended monthly community events & markets stalls with our greyhounds promoting them as pets.
💚 Held our first ‘Nup to the Cup’ event which sold out.
Ran our biggest ‘Hounds Day Out’ with over 1000 attendees.
📃 Freed the snoot! After 5 years of advocating & working with various Members of Parliament, rescued greyhounds in WA no longer need to wear muzzles. A small step forward in reducing discrimination of this gentle breed.
🥠And…most importantly we handed over 10,000+ handwritten signatures on our petition to end greyhound racing to the WA parliament!
Thank you to everyone who supported us in 2021! Here’s to working towards ending greyhound racing in 2022 ✨
