Justice for the Dead Irish Greyhounds

AFTER AGREEING TO ACCEPT AND REHOME GREYHOUNDS FROM DOG RESCUE IRELAND(DRI), P.A.D.S (PERTHSHIRE ABANDONDED DOG SOCIETY) HAD FOUR HEALTHY YOUNG DOGS PUT TO SLEEP (IN APRIL 2002) JUST THREE WEEKS AFTER THEY ARRIVED.
THESE DOGS HAD EXCELLENT TEMPERAMENTS, HAD BEEN LOVINGLY RESCUED, CARED FOR IN A HOME ENVIRONMENT AND WERE PICKED ESPECIALLY AS THEY WOULD QUICKLY FIND NEW HOMES, SO WORK COULD CONTINUE WITH PADS TO HELP MANY MORE DOGS.

Heidi Beerensson of PADS claims "PADS do not, and never have, destroyed any
animal unless forced to do so"- therefore does PADS believe that any healthy
dog that requires to be muzzled temporarily, for it's own safety and that of
other animals, has no quality of life and should be destroyed?
Exactly how many dogs do PADS destroy each year?
In view of the above, how many of these dogs die needlessly?
If Mrs Stewart felt unable to cope why did she not contact Mrs Wright (DRI
organiser) or indeed any of the many other greyhound associations all of
whom would have been willing to give advice and, if necessary, remove the
dogs to a safe haven?
Prior to her position at PADS, what qualifications and experience did Mrs
Stewart have enabling her to make professional assessments about the dog's
temperaments, socialization needs and suitability for re-homing?
Mrs Stewart has a full time position and lives on site, yet the kennel is
only open part time hours, would it not be in the dogs' best interests for
the opening times to he changed and potential owners not to be turned away
because they are a few minutes late?
The four dogs had never been on a racetrack in their lives, so Mrs
Beerensson's and Mrs Storm's (PADS legal advisor) various excuses pertaining
to this are all rubbish - but did they at any point take into consideration
the damage they may have caused by making statements to the press to the
press such as "...the danger these dogs presented to small children and
certainly to smaller animals.."
Are they not aware that thousands of ex-racing greyhounds make the
successful transition into family homes each year?

WHY WAS THE DECISION TO DESTROY FOUR HEALTHY YOUNG ANIMALS MADE BY ONE PERSON?
SURELY A DECISION AS GREAT AS THIS SHOULD INVOLVE A FULL COMMITTEE MEETING WITH EVERY SINGLE OTHER ALTERNATIVE POSSIBLE DISCUSSED AND PUT INTO ACTION.

DUE TO THIS CASUAL DISREGARD FOR LIFE. WE ARE OUTRAGED AND WANT ANSWERS.
