The builder alleged to have buried 10,000 greyhounds in his allotment is to be prosecuted. It is claimed David Smith had killed up to 10,000 dogs, mostly greyhounds no longer fast enough to race, over a number of years. The Environment Agency has begun proceedings for a private prosecution against him. The allegation of depositing non-specific controlled waste without a licence relates to burying dogs in a makeshift graveyard behind his home in Northdene Terrace, Seaham, County Durham. The first hearing of the case will take place before North Durham magistrates in January 2007.

What a bloody disgrace he was to society.

He should be bloody hung for doing that :rant: :rant: :rant:

There are rescues/charities he could of handed his dogs to where they would of found homes for them.

Makes my blood boil hearing things like this.

They weren't his dogs. He provided a 'service' for greyhound owners and trainers disposing of unwanted greyhounds by killing them with a bolt gun to the head for a tenner each. It was a family business, his dad had done it and he carried on the good work. :rant:

It's not illegal - he's been prosecuted for the way he disposed of the bodies rather than for killing the dogs. He's also not the only person doing this, just the one who was exposed by a newspaper.

The sad fact is there will never be enough homes for the thousands of dogs retired from greyhound racing every year.
