Block & Delete, the Grey2K & AR (animal rights) Way

Much ado has been made about this blog not publishing ANONYMOUS comments. We do that because we believe people should not be able to hide behind ANONYMOUS, that they should have enough courage of their convictions to post a name.  If someone posts their name, they get published. However, courageous people who post on the Grey2K FaceBook page or the Grey2K blog, don't get that much consideration.  What happens is that Grey2K immediately deletes the post and blocks the person.  Grey2K gets rid of people who question them and their comments; those who seek clarification or who want to clarify and provide a counterpoint to a statement.

Here are some FaceBook comments on the Grey2K policy to delete & block.

Erin Walker: LOL. They just blocked me,  can no longer comment on their site. I wasn't even that nasty either!! Someone had commented on one of their posts asking where they could get a greyhound, Grey2K responded with their adoption referral I looked and noticed that a lot of states weren't even represented in their list. (according to their list I couldn't even adopt in my state) So I asked why they offered so few adoption groups as options? Do you get kick backs from these groups? I said that there were tons of groups they could adopt from and probably some in their area, I gave a few options, and said they could google adoption groups in their area, and said that you can even adopt from the tracks...Wonder which part they didn't like...

Kevin Muckleroy:  I just got blocked because of a post I put on Grey2k. To tell you how bad they lie, they were at my home track yesterday for the matinee. Christine took pictures of the parking lot from over 1/4 mile away saying that the parking lot was empty. Wrong!! Then the she posted a picture from the empty seats on the first floor pointing out all of the empty seats. Well of course they were empty. It was two hours before post time! The attendance for Wednesday's matinee was over 500. Where were the pictures of the packed club house? Just another way for these idiots to deprive the public of the truth. Thursday night had an attendance of over 1000. I don't believe that we will be closing the doors anytime soon as they advertised. What Burns me up? If you're going to fight, fight fair!! Don't continue to lie to gain support. If you want to debate a subject, then debate it. Don't delete the other side because you are too chicken shit to hear the truth!!

Melony Cleveland: Awesome, I made 2 comments on Grey2K USA's wall and got myself blocked and had my comments removed!

Delete & block is SOP (standard operating procedure) for not only Grey2K, but pretty much ALL animal rights zealot groups & forums. After all, they like keeping their minions dumb & miserable. Think about it, do you believe they would get 1/2 of the donations they get if people were informed as to the truth of situations?

In May, Lyman High School (mascot is the Greyhound) used to hold an event at Sanford Orlando Kennel Club. The event was not held during racing hours and it raised money for greyhound adoption groups. That was the SOLE purpose for the event.  So, this year, Animal Rights of Florida (ARFF) and other AR groups, put untold pressure on the school district and board. They got the event cancelled.

Lyman HS Greyhound vs Racing Greyhound

It's a shame that the school district caved in to the pressure from the AR zealots. What a shame for the kids of Lyman High School but, most especially, this really hurts the adoptable Greyhounds that benefited from the funds raised.

Here is a wonderful photo essay on last year's event on the Orlando Sentinel.

Since there is no gambling involved and no greyhound racing, we can safely surmise that this action was purely to make the adoptable dogs do without. Once again the ARs prove they really don't care a plugged nickle about the dogs. The haters just keep on hating and the domestic terrorists win.  And, believe me, the anti's are gloating.

A victory for Greyhounds?  I think not.  They are the ones that lost this one...  lost adoption funds...  lost opportunities for people to meet & adopt dogs...  and probably lost homes.  Where is the concern for the dogs?

Some were quite upset at this turn of events and contacted ARFF.  As usual, comments were deleted and the person commenting was blocked.

Brandi's comment was not nasty or unkind. It just pointed out that the only thing accomplished by their action in getting the event cancelled was to take needed adoption funds away from the groups that work day in & out with the dogs.  The groups that provide direct care and support.

Another supporter of the event, Aimee, contacted them too.

Her comment, pointed out the loss of much needed funds and asked ARFF if they were going to replace that much needed money.  She pointed out how short sighted they were and how selfish.
Her comment was also deleted.

And Ellen's comment didn't last long at all, being taken down within minutes of being posted.

In the past, this event has garnered anywhere from $500 to $1300 in donations for adoption groups and Sanford Orlando Kennel Club added money to it. Sanford Orlando dollars were 100% matching, adoption groups have been denied anywhere between $1000 and $2600, maybe more.  That's a lot of dog food.

So, in response to the criticism and comments about lost adoption funds, Animal Rights Florida posted, 

"... We provided Lyman with over 100 fundraising ideas for high school students, so they could continue to help rescued greyhounds."

C'mon ARFF...  why don't you, Grey2K, and HSUS cough up the $2600 that you denied the dogs.? Rather than offering platitudes, offer something substantial and beneficial.

Lie & Deny; Delete & Block....  It's all SOP for them regardless of who or what gets hurt.

You just gotta love the ARs and GREY2K. Such accepting, considerate, and respectful people. The best of the best of humankind! My very first ever comment on one of their last posts not only went unanswered, but was deleted. I also can no longer comment on their posts/page. Really great people there...if you're one of their zombies!

They don't want people to ask questions because the answers, if they are answered truthfully, can only hurt their agenda. They want people who'll follow blindly, parrot their words and who can't be bothered to find out the truth for themselves. It's difficult to make people change their minds once they've chosen sides because they don't want to feel stupid for choosing the wrong side in the first place.

The pro racing community on the other hand, has shown only acceptance, respect, and a desire to TEACH the truth. 

Yours in greyhounds....
