GBGB
The industry’s own self-appointed regulator that counts the dead.
It licenses Romford. It licenses the trainers.
And it collates the figures for every greyhound injured and killed on a British track.
What you can do
Email GBGB directly
Keep it polite. Keep it factual. We have reality on our side.

Comment on GBGB’s posts
Reminder to please keep it polite and factual.
Here’s some ideas of comments to leave on GBGB’s socials. Please modify and make your own for the most impact:
Deaths at the trackside rose in 2025 in a year with 25,000 fewer runs. Fewer dogs racing, more dogs dying.
Your own 2025 data: 161 greyhounds killed at the trackside. Up 31% on the year before. At what number of dead dogs will GBGB finally admit that this cruel industry is unsafe and must be ended?
A hundred years, and dogs are still dying at shocking rates every single year. Just last year alone, 161 greyhounds were killed at the trackside. Your figures. How can you stand behind this cruel industry that kills dogs?
GBGB you track the thousands of injuries and count the hundreds of dead every year and call it regulation. This industry must be shut down. Greyhounds are breaking bones and dying for profit!
Come to one of our upcoming actions
This is the single most useful thing. We organise demonstrations outside GBGB’s office in London and everyone is welcome. No experience needed, and nobody stands alone.
Most people in London have no idea the track is still there, or that GBGB exists as the regulator. For those that do know, many are unaware of just how cruel greyhound racing is for the dogs. If you’d prefer to leaflet locally instead, please contact us at ROMFORD@SHUTDOWN.ORG.UK and we can set you up with leaflets.
Never bet on a dog race, and never attend one
Simply put, the fewer people that support this cruel industry, the better.
If your workplace, club, or group is booking an event at Romford, tell them what happens there. The stadium sells hard to work dos, birthdays, hen and stag nights, and parties. One email to an events organiser has cancelled bookings before once they are aware of the reality of these races. We can give you the figures to send.
SHUT DOWN ROMFORD
