Greyhounds are beautiful, intelligent animals. Sadly, they are being exploited heavily by race track owners hoping to earn money at their expense. Greyhounds suffer from intense confinement, and thousands suffer from severe, oftentimes life threatening injuries each year. It is heartbreaking to watch as these animals race down the track. They are treated as if they were machines, or objects to be used at a whim. These are the same animals that we welcome into our homes as pets. What makes …

It’s quite unreal how much animal cruelty goes on without people even realizing. I hope there will come a day when people see how cruel even the smallest things like greyhound racing can truly be. It’s already been banned in several states in the US, I am hoping the rest will enact bans soon as well!

It truly is unreal to think some people are capable of using animals like this. I’m glad you agree, and that you’re going to spread the word about this cruelty!

Thank you for uploading.
It’s really sick what mankind can do without thinking about any feelings. There are so many other topics and each one makes me wonder, how long this torture will go on.
Keep up your great work, it’s really good to know that there are people who care about those who have no voice.

That´s great about the track being shut down.
Their are greyhound adoption organizations all across the United States. I´ve heard they make fantastic pets.
And it´s awesome to hear that those dogs are doing well… it´s nice to hear they´re acclimating to living like regular, happy, dogs.

The race track I used to live near was shut down (in FL), and quite a few people were against that.
I for one did not want it there, so I didn’t pay attention to those who stood outside to protest it being shut down.
If I could, I would adopt the one’s who are saved (they used to be outside of a store around here…), but I know a few people who have adopted some and those dogs are doing well.
I’m going to go look at these sites, and hopefully people can start shutting these tracks down.

I definitely agree. The fact of the matter is that in industry built upon earning a profit is no suitable place for a dog. Its care will always be put second to winning and making money.

The people owning the dogs only care for one thing and that is for winning. I think that they need to make some serious efforts to improve its care of the dogs.
