BiographyBorn in the spring of 2008, Snip Nua [1] was a racing greyhound who became famous because she featured in the BBC television show Three Men go to Ireland, which was broadcast over the Christmas holidays in December 2009.[2] The show was eagerly anticipated in Ireland as it promised to provide good publicity for both Greyhound racing and Irish tourism,[3] and was even referenced on the Irish tourist board website.[4] Due to its inclusion in the television programme, Snip Nua's performance at Mullingar Greyhound stadium in the Three Men Go to Ireland race was watched by an estimated 5-7 million people in the UK alone.[5] Fior Gael syndicateSnip Nua was owned by a 16-member syndicate, Fior Gael.[6] In Ireland, syndication is a popular way of spreading the cost and responsibility of greyhound ownership.[7] The Fior Gael syndicate was made up of a group of professionals and business people, among them barristers, lawyers, and journalists. Notable members of the syndicate included Frank McNally, business editor of The Irish Times, and comedian Dara Ó Briain. Ó Briain once described his membership of the syndicate as his worst financial investment.[8] He claimed that despite owning six dogs in seven years the syndicate had only had one win. At the time of the Three Men show, Snip Nua was the syndicate's latest dog. She appeared to be a promising racer who might break the syndicate's poor run of success, and in her first races, the young dog indeed put in some strong performances [9] Death and legacySnip Nua's career as a professional racer was short; on 14 December 2009 she was euthanized after sustaining a hock injury at Harold's Cross Greyhound Stadium.[10][11] The fact that Snip Nua's TV debut was aired after her death without any mention of that fact by the BBC caused offence among groups concerned about the welfare of racing greyhounds such as Greytexploitations and Greyhound Action.[11][12] Although the rules of the Greyhound Racing Board in the United Kingdom sanction the destruction of dogs on economic grounds,[13][14] the Dublin Society for the Protection of Animals has described this practice as 'tantamount to animal abuse'.[10][15] In early 2010 a series of demonstrations were held at Dara Ó Briain's UK show dates to try to persuade both him and the BBC to publicly denounce the sport of greyhound racing due to the dog's death.[16][17][18] In February 2012 the BBC repeated the Three Men Go To Ireland show but took the unusual step of removing all footage of Snip Nua from the episode.[19] References1. ^{{cite web |author=Gunnar von Boehn |url=http://www.greyhound-data.com/d?d=snip+nua&sex=&color=&birthyear=&birthland= |title=Pedigree of Snip Nua |work=Greyhound-data.com |date= |accessdate=10 November 2010}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Nua, Snip}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00pk5nj |title=Two Programmes - Three Men Go to Ireland, Episode 1 |work=BBC |date= |accessdate=10 November 2010}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.westmeathexaminer.ie/news/mullingar/articles/2009/10/08/391802-bbc-three-men-in-a-boat-stars-at-mullingar-greyhound-stadium/ |title=BBC "Three Men in a Boat" stars at Mullingar Greyhound Stadium |newspaper=Westmeath Examiner |date=8 October 2009 |accessdate=10 November 2010}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.discoverireland.com/gb/promotions/threemen/ |title=Three Men in a Boat |work=Discoverireland.com |date= |accessdate=10 November 2010}} 5. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.westmeathexaminer.ie/news/mullingar/articles/2009/12/29/3993719-7m-british-tv-viewers-to-see-mullingar-in-three-men-in-a-boat-special/ |title=7M British TV viewers to see Mullingar in 'Three Men In A Boat' special |newspaper=Westmeath Examiner |date=29 December 2009 |accessdate=10 November 2010}} 6. ^ {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071127191939/http://www.igb.ie/Trainers-Landing/owners/?oid=88025 |date=November 27, 2007 }} 7. ^ {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100815004023/http://www.igb.ie/Tralee/top/1954/ |date=August 15, 2010 }} 8. ^{{cite news| url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/money/article649721.ece | location=London | work=The Times | title=Fame and Fortune Stake in dogs is no laughing matter | date=26 November 2006 | first=Sadie | last=Gray}} 9. ^{{cite news| url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/opinion/2009/1014/1224256611648.html | work=The Irish Times | title=An Irishman's Diary | date=10 October 2009}} 10. ^1 2 {{cite web |url= https://www.questia.com/read/1G1-217908349 |title=Dara's Dog Starred in Three Men after She Was Put Down; Comedian Too Upset to Talk about Death of His Greyhound Snip Nua - The Mail on Sunday (London, England) |first=Warren |last=Swords |work=Questia Online Library |date=31 January 2010 |accessdate=19 June 2014}} 11. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.greytexploitations.com/resources-and-reports/did-the-bbc-callously-dismiss-the-deaths-of-two-greyhounds |title=Did the BBC Callously Dismiss the Deaths of Two Greyhounds?
