South Shields Screening: The Secret Lives of Greyhounds

Behind greyhound racing lies a story most people never see — one of suffering, secrecy, and systemic neglect. The Secret Lives of Greyhounds is an investigative documentary exploring the lives of greyhounds bred and raced, exposing a pipeline of exploitation at the heart of an industry now facing worldwide condemnation. Featuring exclusive undercover footage and expert testimony, the film challenges the legitimacy of greyhound racing and asks whether its future can be justified at all. This free screening at Sea Change Cafe is a collaboration between Shut Down Campaigns activists and Animal Aid, and offers the opportunity to see the documentary and participate in a Q&A session with documentary contributors. the North East is home to three of only 15 licensed greyhound racetracks that remain active in England; Owlerton, Star Pelaw, and Sunderland Stadiums. Find out why members of your community are fighting to close them. The Secret Lives of Greyhounds contains footage of dogs in pain and distress. Viewer discretion is advised. https://www.trybooking.com/uk/event/125149
