NEW – BLOOD DONOR POLICY – NGA
Friday, November 10, 2017
In light of recent issues surrounding the discovery of greyhounds at a blood bank facility in Texas, the National Greyhound Association (NGA) has issued a new policy that, effective immediately, outlines the organization’s parameters and guidance with regard to the use of NGA registered greyhounds for the purpose of blood donation.
NGA Executive Director, Jim Gartland said that the policy is long overdue.
“Although this policy has been drafted and adopted based on recent events, it has been a long time coming and we intend to fully see it through going forward.”
Members of the NGA and associated adoption groups will be expected to comply with the policy and will be held accountable for any breach of its rules.
