Dear @AnimalAid
I am writing regarding your recent statements and publications concerning the greyhounds “kilgarran dolly”, “speedy pear” and “speedy glacisboy”.
You have publicly and/or privately implied that the dogs were “missing” and requested that I complete forms or otherwise “report this dog as found”, despite there being numerous legitimate reasons why a greyhound may not have raced for a period of time.
Greyhounds may be absent from racing for reasons including, but not limited to:
- injury recovery or rehabilitation;
- seasonal rest;
- breeding arrangements;
- private rehoming;
- rehoming through recognised charities;
- ownership or kennel transfers; and
- routine breaks from racing.
Your statements falsely imply misconduct, negligence, welfare breaches, or dishonesty on my part without any proper factual basis. Such allegations are capable of causing serious harm to my reputation within the greyhound racing industry and beyond.
I require that you:
1. Immediately cease making or repeating these allegations;
2. Remove any existing posts, comments, or publications referring to the dogs as “missing” or otherwise improperly unaccounted for;
3. Refrain from contacting third parties with similar allegations;
4. Confirm in writing within 7 days that you have complied.
Should these defamatory statements continue, I reserve all rights available to me, including pursuing legal remedies under the laws of England and Wales.
This letter is sent in an effort to resolve the matter amicably and without further escalation.
Yours sincerely,
Nathan Stevens

@JulieBoudicca@LouKellett@jonnyboybrum@jonnorris12 Interesting opinion to have there Julie I mean I don’t really care all I know is it costs me about £3.50 a year to have a king! Pretty cheap given they pull in a lot of tourism
