CONVICTED: Was justice served?
more information on voting
When you vote, you are voting on whether or not the punishment fit the crime, NOT on the severity of the case itself. If you feel the sentence was very weak, you would vote 1 star. If you feel the sentence was very strong, you would vote 5 stars.
Please vote honestly and realistically. These ratings will be used a a tool for many future programs, including a "People’s Choice" of best and worst sentencing, DA and judge "report cards", and more. Try to resist the temptation to vote 1 star on every case, even if you feel that 100 years in prison isn’t enough.
Case #9020 Rating: 2.3 out of 5
Racing dogs injected with human drug EPO
Garda, IR (UK)Incident Date: Sunday, Apr 30, 2006
Disposition: Convicted
Defendants/Suspects:
» Paul Hennessey
» John Kiely
Greyhound Action Ireland (affiliated to GA International) is tonight calling on its members to contact Garda Commissioner Noel Conroy in light of the recent revelations and admissions of drug administering by two well known trainers.
An urgent and immediate Gardai investigation into possible breaches of the Misuse of Drugs Act and the Protection of Animals Act by both trainers Paul Hennessy and John Kiely is being sought.
These trainers admitted to the offences and have been fined a paltry sum of 1000euro each for administering the human drug EPO to greyhounds.
An email urging activists to contact the Gardai in writing is circulating on the Internet . Greyhound Action is horrified at the 40, 000 dogs killed by the Industry annually in Ireland and the Uk. Dogs have been dumped in ever increasing numbers minus their ears here in Ireland and dog pounds offer a 15 euro killing service to greyhound owners to dispose of slow or injured dogs.
