On 24th August 2014, Animal Liberation Qld volunteers attended the greyhound puppy auction at Ipwsich, Queensland.
We are extremely disappointed that Bendigo Bank supports such a cruel and wasteful industry. The greyhound racing industry is responsible for an estimated "wastage" of some 17,000 dogs each year in Australia.

UPDATE: 19/02/2015 - We are pleased to announce that Bendigo Bank have withdrawn their sponsorship after a huge public outrage following our investigations which aired on 4 Corners this week. Find out more at greyhoundcruelty.com. |
Take Action!
Please contact Bendigo Bank and politely ask that they stop sponsoring greyhound racing.

You can include some of these points in your email:
- The support of the recent puppy auction at Ipswich Greyhound Racing Club flies in the face of Bendigo Bank's commitment to homeless animals
- The greyhound racing industry promotes the overbreeding of dogs in the hopes of producing a "winner"
- Thousands of greyhounds are euthanased each year because they are no longer profitable
- Bendigo Bank's support of greyhound racing does not reflect corporate social responsibility
