SHUT DOWN ROMFORD

DOGS SHOULD BE PLAYING, NOT RACING FOR THEIR LIVES.

A racing greyhound’s life is spent behind a kennel door, often muzzled. Let out briefly to be forced on the track for profit and trading.

The dogs chase a moving target that they will never catch.

GREYHOUNDS BREAK THEIR BONES AND BACKS, HAVE HEART ATTACKS, AND ARE KILLED IN THIS INDUSTRY.

According to the Greyhound Board of Great Britain (GBGB), the UK industry’s self-appointed regulator, in 2025 alone:

• 272 dogs were put to death
  • 161 were killed at the tracks
• 93 dogs dropped dead suddenly
• 823 shattered their ankles racing
  • Which is just one of the many injuries greyhounds suffer. In total, there were 3,648 reported injuries.

EVEN THE DOGS WHO ‘WIN’ THE RACE LOSE.

On 11 May 2026, Roaming Tinder crossed the finish line first at Romford and suddenly collapsed, seizing on the floor. The camera turned away. The replay was never published. Nobody has said what happened to her.

A HUNDRED YEARS OF SUFFERING.

The first UK greyhound race was in 1926 and the industry spread fast.

London alone had 33 tracks. Since then, track after track has closed. There’s now just 15 remaining tracks in England.

Romford is London’s last remaining track.

BLOOD MONEY: A BET WAS PLACED, SHE PAID THE PRICE.

Romford belongs to Entain, the company behind Ladbrokes.

Betting is the only thing keeping this industry alive and greyhounds dead.

Entain closed its other London track, Crayford, in January 2025.

Entain will shut Romford when keeping it open costs more than walking away.
That is what pressure does.

The more we put on Romford and everyone profiting from this cruel industry, the sooner London’s last track closes for good.
