Eric Jackson

By Elaine Summerhill

Something absolutely chilling...

Eric Jackson quoted former HSUS President, John Hoyt, on greyhounds. He objects to them being "warehoused". Here's a passage from CT's blog...

"Eric tells me that he volunteers so much of his time because he believes that greyhounds deserve better. He is particularly appalled by the way greyhounds are kept, and would like to see an end to what he calls the "commercial warehousing" of greyhounds."

Now then, when John Hoyt objected to the 'warehousing' of greyhounds, he also was advocating for the dogs to be destroyed rather than be "warehoused" in adoption groups.

 

Supposedly, Jackson is using his psych skills as the Communications Director for GCNM and VP of GREY2K USA , to help with "long-term strategic planning. His professional background also helps us understand the various rationalizations that greyhound breeders use to defend their cruel business."

I'm not an "adjunct lecturer" in a psychology department, but I'm guessing that his choice of words is really highlighting his unconscious desire to ensure that greyhounds never suffer an injury by advocating for the eradication of the breed.

 

What Psychology Today says about the unconscious...

"The unconscious mind is not some black hole of unacceptable impulses waiting to trip you up, but it can be the source of hidden beliefs, fears, and attitudes that interfere with everyday life."

Chilling...
