We must do our utmost to alert others to the plight of racing greyhounds. We can´t just stand by and watch them suffer none of us can contain the blatant cruelty we see without giving the victims a voice. The more we alert others to the plight of racing greyhounds the more people become aware of what is going on the more voices will speak against this systematic cruelty. We must be that voice regardless of what happens the greyhounds deserve better and they need us all to speak for them.
Einst so schön und stets der Sieger, dann oh je, er wurde alt. Konnt sein Futter nicht mehr verdienen, sein Nachfolger erhielt den Rang.
Eigentlich finde ich garnicht die richtigen Worte um meine Bitterkeit über die Respektlosigkeit der Hundebesitzer auszudrücken, die Ihre Tiere nur für die Rennbahn halten und dann quälen und einfach entsorgen.
Es bricht mir das Herz!!
Das hilft aber den Hunden garnichts!!!!!!!
Keine Wetten abschließen. Nur das kann auf lange Sicht den Hunden helfen.
"LETS HOPE ONE DAY THESE SO CALED HUMAN BEINGS WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO GOD FOR THESE ATROCITIES ON UNWANTED GREYHOUNDS" those cruel people will not make it past the Pearly Gates, they have a speed pass to Hell.
this video cannot even begin to tell of the mental damage done to these poor beast.
We have rescued several already, for some, the fear never goes away. the terrible part, this is only a very small sampling of the horrors forced upon them.
This goes to show we have no respect anymore for each other as human beings and therefore we have no compassion for animals. There is ALOT of work that needs to be done in order for us to regain our humanity for each other and for animals that don't have the voice to speak up. I bow head to your hard work and hope you can keep at it.
Oh my goodness. I mean I wish/hope the people who did that die a slow death! Animals are innocent, and shouldn't have to be entertainment for us. Heartbreaking.
the people that commit these cruel acts need to be treated to the same abuse they have inflicted on these wonderful dogs, they are inhuman and don't deserve to live. pure evil scum
If we illegalize animal racing of all kind, we would end the extremely high demand of these animals being bred. Please consider adoption and please make an effort to volunteer or simply donate 10 bucks to an animal rescue of your choice. Love all walks of life, we all deserve long and prosperous lives.
I had to stop watching this video after the first 20 seconds,it bought tears to my eyes.We have a rescued greyhound,shes the most loving dog ever,gets on well with our other rescue dog (x breed)....how can the BASTARDS do this to these lovely animals......Lets hope one day pain and suffering is inflicted upon these evil people.
We have a rescue greyhound, ex racer, and you couldn't ask for a better dog. I hope that everyone who is moved by this video goes straight to the nearest rescue and takes one home. You won't be sorry you did.
Sorry to say, but all this is true. Such wonderful, trusting, loving and loyal dogs and this is how they get treated. What is remarkable, I have seen dogs, not quite this bad, but they will still wag their tales. Please do whatever you can to support greyhound adoption or donate to your local shelter. Promote no-kill shelters. These babies have suffered enough.
my family and i race standardbred horses in ohio and while i admit sadly that there are people who neglect their horses sometimes i can count out ten people thati know who are dirt poor and will feed a horse before they feed themselves and have grown up around horses all their lives and they are pets not just money makers so you shouldnt ban ALL animal racing
They ban cockfighting and dogfightint. They should ban animal racing of any kind too because these animals are exploited for the money they bring. But states collect lots of money from animal races so this is not going to happen. These poor animals are no better off than the cows and pigs that are raised in factory farms for their meat. The way we treat defenseless creatures is a shame.
can i just add i have had racing dogs for 5 years and never in my life seen any thing like this my dogs feed twice dailly cant run they get rehomed never seen dogs so thin
I adopted a greyhound a little over a year ago and she is the sweetest most gentle loving dog. I am so glad to have her and be able to give her a new home. I just wish I could save them all!
Its the exact same issue as with race horses. The more animals a breeder produces the more money they make. The owners are basically in it for gambling. That animal no longer wins or turns enough of a profit, they have no use for them. As for the retired dogs... a greyhound isn't a good match for everyone who wants a dog, and every dog owner has a limit as to how many animals they can take care of. The only real solution is to lower the rate at which these animals are produced.
I undersatnd where people are coming from with the "adopt a dog in need" push, but in reality all you are doing is stopping resopnsible breeders who care about the health, temperment, and quality of the dogs they produce, in favor of dogs with unknown temperments and backgrounds. There needs to be a bigger push on spay/neuter for non-breeders.
As far as racing in particular, as long as its a profitable industry, there will be more dogs produced than homes for the retired dogs.
the problem isn't that people race them so much as people see them as a comodity to be disposed of when it no longer brings in money. If there was no money involved, and GH owners simply let their pets run for fun this wouldn't happen.
I understand what you mean, and I agree, working animals should be taken better care of than they are. My question is: What can you do to stop so many dogs from being neglected, abandoned, abused, and brutally killed?
If the race industry is breeding 10's of thousands of animals every year, it is inevitable that at least half will not be kept as pets/ breeding animals after their careers are over. How many pet homes do you expect to find every year? How else do we fix this problem?
I agree, it's a complex issue. Racing greyhounds should be allowed but abusing them should not, people should adopt dogs instead of buying them, that would help current issues a lot.
The next step is not supporting abusive workplaces, which is a lot harder to do. We can't even get the treatment of fellow humans to a decent level.
We live in a warped world, I guess the best thing for us to do is help spread information at this point.
the man with the dog in the wheelbarrow is David Smith. He killed over 10,000 Greyhounds (they found 10,000 but its an estimated 20,000.). He got fined a few thousad pounds and isn't allowed to own pets for 10 years.
He got paid £10 per dog. He buried them in his own back garden. His punishment was merely a slap-on-the-wrist.
WHAT KIND OF WORLD DO WE LIVE IN? WHAT KIND OF GOVERNMENT DO WE DEPEND ON? WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE ARE WE IF WE DO THIS?
You're right...these so called humans will meet their maker someday and have to answer to this...I am babysitting a rescued greyhound right now and he is such a sweetie, I'm ready to go adopt one. He is a calming influence to my other dogs and just wants love.
Please, everyone, anyone can help these gentle giants. There is a home for all of them if we just step forward to help. Please, adopt, foster, fund, whatever you can do. Written on behalf of my sweet boy Cash Excess, adopted in 2004 from Northern Lights Greyhound Association. Please help these sweet dogs. These videos of the awful torture/pain they have endured and sometime tragically/blessedly died from are too painful to view but so necessary to educate. Please help however you are able.
i fuckin hate ppl i own 3 greyhounds now ive had greyhounds my entire life and im 19 now please help by adopting these amazing dogs the love they show is unbelievable and the way that they are treated in some states is just disgusting i wish the ppl that abuse dogs or animals in general can die a painful death
Spain and Ireland are horrific countries for mistreating and murdering Greyhounds. The government need to stop this criminal activity as it is connected to human abuse as well.
Makes me want to vomit. Boycott Ireland, Sapina, Cina and Korea for cruelty to dogs and other animals. Its so uncool!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP & SUPPORT......PLEASE I BEG YOU TRY AND HELP STOP THIS ABUSE OF ALL ANIMALS WORLDWIDE....
I,D BE HAPPY TO HAVE MY BIOGRAPHY BE THE STORIES OF MY DOGS.....TO ME TO LIVE WITHOUT MY DOGS ..WOULD MEAN ACCEPTING A FORM OF BLINDNESS.....I DEDICATE THIS VIDEO AND ALL MY VIDEOS TO MY FREINDS ,,FAMILY AND ALL UNWANTED DOGS THAT ARE LOOKING FOR A FOREVER HOME .... .........tony (savegreyhounds)
I can tell you to spare us your "misunderstood" "stigmatised" Load of BS cuz if you cared at all you'd be happy to see racing end,since that is the only way to prevent or stop the kind of atrocities that have been going on! Is that just too much of a sacrifice for you? Hmmm, if the rap fits....
If so many of you were such decent kind caregivers, you would not be able to help but get attached to each of them, their unique and yet universally benevolent demeanors, I worked at a rescue with hundreds, and also volunteered with other organisations, have fostered them and I am proud and loving MOM of two-- Vlad, 12 and Chloe, 11.
PRO-RACING PEOPLE: I am so tired of you and your lies and your supposed honorable intentions and admirable and humane colleagues I could scream. Why can't people just be honest with themselves and stop thinking that their propaganda is rational?
I love grey hounds. I cant believe anyone would do this!! It is SOOOOOOOOOO mean! i have a blog and im trying to put this on there but im haveing a hard time doing time doing it....this is soooo sasd :(((((
All people at Earth should be taught to love and care for animals. Please everybody who sees this - go hug your dog, cat, guina pig, budgie or tell your betta that you love them very much!
You live in Canada please do not comment on the UK greyhound racing industry. You know absolutley nothing about this 30,000 dogs come off UK tracks every year 8,000 are rehomed successfully where do the 12,000 end up ..(Figures Greyhound trust) where have the 12,000 gone every year ..does not need a scientist/intellectual to tell you ....the rest end up dead /shot /eunthanised etc....Please know the facts before you leave stupid comments on UK greyhound industry,,, tony (savegreyhounds)
Not all due to racing. Many pics by/for/at a Spanish rescue and NOT racers. At season end, hunting hounds are dumped in wells, hung, and bludgeoned. Ears removed to prevent identification. Video would be more honest if it acknowledged this, not allow all blame on racing.
The majority in industry treat dogs well, place for adoption and report abuse.
Savegreyhounds videos highlight abuse. More people are aware of the abuse. I am grateful. But don't lay all blame where it does not all belong.
2gr8grAs... I totally support you on this, and think that many of these people need to either tell the whole truth or straighten their facts (which ever applies).
I think everyone should place blame properly and work to stop abuse, not the industry.
Excuse my language but these bastards should be shot for what they've done to these poor creatures. They say man is intelligent? What other living creature treats another this way? For sport and money? It makes me ashamed everytime i see something like this. Keep up the good work and get the message out there, well done to you.
hello, at 0.47 sec until 0.49 sec. i saw our dear tess wich we adopted last year.
we only had her for 4 weeks because she had a tumor in her spine, poor thing !!! now she is in heaven, but what a surprise to see her on your movieclip. thank you very much, we never ever forget our lovely girl. after dear tess we adopted 2 dogs by ginn, manu and joyce, thanks to dear tess they have a lovely home !! dear tess and all greyhounds who died, RUN FREE SWEET GIRL AND BOY.
@teckelreu So how did she end up in that state? U adopted her? Were u not supposed to keep her to the bitter end? No conditions? Then, who allowed adoption? Was the bill raising too high? Sorry for being blunt, but... don´t gimme that lame stuff if u kicked her out! She´s in Heaven? Well, sure hope so, ´cause first she had to through hell, it seems! Peace.
This video really made me cry. I have retired greys as well as racers and I help out at the kennels and help to find them a good home to ensure this doesn't happen. Thankfully these incidents are becoming less frequent, but they shouldn't be happening at all. Greyhounds are the most fantastic pets.
Tony, this one hurts to watch, but it needs to be out for those to see who do not know what goes on in the racing industry. God help us all to stop this abuse. And may HE send HIS angels to watch over these precious creatures.
You can prey ,this animal's have NO angels,Hurt?God has nothing to do with it.What kind of god would let this horror happen even to his son Yah,cool god you worship.I agree banracing,to much money involved tho to stop it those parasites or whale shit guy's are as low as you can go
oh wow i nearly cried watching this it so sad i have 2 ex racers an they ma life i love them to bit if i go out house they always there to greet me how can ppl be so cruel to greyhounds yea i agree greyhound racing should be baned then maybe greyhounds would have a betta life an know the meaning of life other then racing round a track some to end up being hurt
I wish dog-racing was illegal, I have never been and have no desire to see these animals run,for to me that is cruel. I have taken in my fair share of stray cats and dogs and they were never given anything but love wish the rest of the world felt the same
We adopted our greyhound 4 years ago from a wonderful rescue group. He was very timid and had a shattered hind leg. We show him how gentle people can be and show him patience and love everyday. We found a greyhound only obedience class which helped alot too. Our dog is so thankful and so cute. He is a little social butterfly now but occassionally still gets spooked. I love greyhounds!
Some greyhounds are timid yes. Most aren't. I have six retired racers. They are beautiful to watch in teh back yard. And not all are abused. There are bad people in the industry, and the kill truck still comes. :( But who is active here in getting greyhounds adopted besides me? What is actively being done by commenters? It's one thing to talk, but another to reach out and do.
Anyone who abuses or hurts an animal should be strung up.
In my neighbourhood, in Canada there is this beautiful lady who adopted a greyhound from a a racetrack in the USA. During the day while at work she has someone come in twice a day to walk her. It is really sad however because she had been just raced and kept caged she is unable to accept affection - she cowers and is extraordinarily timid. If you race a dog and claim to be different then the rest I dare say you are in denial - its like saying you do not believe in slavery but have one anyhow.
Sallywales comments below are from a typical racing greyhound owner who wont admit the amount of ABUSE that goes on in their quest to exploit Greyhounds for money money and greed... all are in denial and have there heads up thier money grabbing greedy arses.
You cannot class all greyhound owners as being bad. I strive to make sure that the greyhounds at our kennel go to a good home. I foster some and I have 2 retired. I own racers but I never bet on them, I don't care if they win or lose but I love to see them run. I am not saying that the abuse doesn't go on in the unlicenced tracks but thankfully I have never come across it.
@carlowayposer Way to go, dude. That is respectable, from my pointo of you: And it would still be respected if u betted on them and they won many times.
@SAVEGREYHOUNDS 1st of all, I can take my own conclusions from what she says and don´t need translation. 2nd, stuf like this are crimes commited by STUPID BASTARDS who deserve to hang, but what is the problem with making dogs who are built to RUN race, so long as the dog is respected (she saying that); kept healthy; well fed and enjoys what Nature has prepared him to do? And if the owner makes a buck out of it, where is the big crime? Is it not taxable? Is that the crime?!
the people who do this should be strung up, i own 7, but race only 4, the rest are retired through old age or injury, i would not dream of getting rid of them. it is the minority of people who do this in racing, stopping racing, will not stop cruelty, every breed gets abused by someone, are we to ban pets?????
i really hope its a minority cos i really wanted to adopt a lab but seeing a lot of greyhounds for adoption from a volunteer rescue family???? my heart is breaking. Now, I really want a greyhound. I am praying I get a house with a big backyard so I can get more. I wasnt into animal rights a couple of years ago but seeing and hearing the desperation of the plight greyhounds changed my mind almost overnight.
No backyard needed - they have been in a cage, they are great in a small apartment. When they run they run so hard they really can't do it more than once a week and not long then. They are happy just being walked. They do like company though - and I've known people with two greyhounds in an apartment. They really are the best apartment dog there is - and they ad so much to your decor - any apartment is beautiful with a greyhound in it.
How anyone can be so cruel to these gentle dogs is way beyond my comprehension. We must continue to let people know about the horrors they face...and hopefully someday, stop the insanity.
As a greyhound owner I just cannot understand how anyone with a heart can possibly do this to the most friendly loving and placid dogs I have ever known. My two are my life and I just hope that one day this will end!
How absolutely horrendous that there are monsters that walk among us that call themselves humans. I think not. Great job on a horrible subject. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the great work for the poor and suffering dogs.
oh no sorry can't watch that to sick . but ya money gets those greedey b-----ds.should be outlawed to race them.BTW the video is a good way to show people but i just couldn't watch it.you get 5/5 for it and i only watched :41 of it.
I will pray for these beautiful animals just as I do for all the pitbulls dieing in the fighting pits. I hope all of their abusers are brought to justice.
Thanks for sharing, hope you and yours are all well.
And more people need to protest greyhound racing now. Be done with that insensitive so called animal sport. There is no need to make animals work like slaves all to get the owner a prize or award of some lame kind.
So horrible what people will do to God's beautiful creatures. I really hope Karma gets them where it hurts most...either in their wallets on in their health. Either way, I hope animal abusers get it back 10fold worse.
uh, pigs are actually quite abit more intelligent than humans and pigs wouldnt do this kind of cruelty. I think you should classify these assholes as "some humans are demons"..instead.
U know I shamefully have to say i can't watch all of this... the images stay with me so long.
I'M So happy to say that my Ma & dad in law have rescued Greyhounds for 20 Years now... I go also to the Fetes to raise money & have met Anne Cosby ( One foot in the grave)several times now.
ThnX for being So BRaVE Dear Sue & Family. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Checkout the greyhound muses website!! John is anti racing and his site will tell you all you need to know. He is a good friend of mine! Let me know if you learned what you wanted!! Thank you for your concern!
this is a fucking disgrace how anyone can treat a living creature like this turns my fucking stomach,I perssonaly would like to catch one of these bastards and tie them up until they starve to fucking death sorry so much swearing but it makes me sick to the fucking stomach
OMG this is discusting. I am only 17 and I thought I had my doggy plans just about sorted but now im not so sure. I may have to think about getting a resue greyhound. I spose someone has to otherwise the poor things will just be left to rot!!
I new a wonderful resue lurcher so I know first hand the kind of dogs they are. Wonderful! and they dont deserve that if anyone does its HUMANS.
Thank you my sweet and lovely friend!! We'll both bear witness! This happens because raciung is a blood sport and probably would be greatly diminidshed if racing was to be abolished! We should not support racing! Sorry for the tirade, but I get angry & deeply frustrated as well!
sweet lady, there is NEVER any reason to be "sorry for the tirade" for a cause such as this! if anything keep talking/SHOUT,SHOUT,SHOUT and acting for this worthy cause! there are no words to express the misery these dear creatures endure! i just wish i could wrap my heart around them and whisper words of comfort to them! FUCKERS!!!
sadcow66 sent me your way! We have two retired racers & have volunteered to find homes for greyhounds! This very upsetting and, frankly,, I had to look away many times! I am sharing this with my friends and subscribed to your videos!5 sad stars
sad to see that :( my uncles friend used to race greyhounds he started with 3 and ended up with 60 because he took in the loosers and trqained then to be champions
i couldn't finish watching the video.. that's sad.

Seriously when you have human abuse in the world today, how are you going to stop animal abuse?
Also where do you draw the line and why single out one group! Horse racing puts down a lot of horses that end up as dog meat, is that ok?
How many abused pets end up in animal shelters everyday and are put down?
What about the show dog breeders, who breed deformity into the dogs, like bulldogs for example, that cant breath after a short walk?
I think show breeders should be banned. Sad!

Spain and Ireland are horrific countries for mistreating and murdering Greyhounds. The government need to stop this criminal activity as it is connected to human abuse as well.
Makes me want to vomit. Boycott Ireland, Sapina, Cina and Korea for cruelty to dogs and other animals. Its so uncool!

I can tell you to spare us your "misunderstood" "stigmatised" Load of BS cuz if you cared at all you'd be happy to see racing end,since that is the only way to prevent or stop the kind of atrocities that have been going on! Is that just too much of a sacrifice for you? Hmmm, if the rap fits....

If so many of you were such decent kind caregivers, you would not be able to help but get attached to each of them, their unique and yet universally benevolent demeanors, I worked at a rescue with hundreds, and also volunteered with other organisations, have fostered them and I am proud and loving MOM of two-- Vlad, 12 and Chloe, 11.

You live in Canada please do not comment on the UK greyhound racing industry. You know absolutley nothing about this 30,000 dogs come off UK tracks every year 8,000 are rehomed successfully where do the 12,000 end up ..(Figures Greyhound trust) where have the 12,000 gone every year ..does not need a scientist/intellectual to tell you ....the rest end up dead /shot /eunthanised etc....Please know the facts before you leave stupid comments on UK greyhound industry,,, tony (savegreyhounds)

Not all due to racing. Many pics by/for/at a Spanish rescue and NOT racers. At season end, hunting hounds are dumped in wells, hung, and bludgeoned. Ears removed to prevent identification. Video would be more honest if it acknowledged this, not allow all blame on racing.
The majority in industry treat dogs well, place for adoption and report abuse.
Savegreyhounds videos highlight abuse. More people are aware of the abuse. I am grateful. But don't lay all blame where it does not all belong.

2gr8grAs... I totally support you on this, and think that many of these people need to either tell the whole truth or straighten their facts (which ever applies).
I think everyone should place blame properly and work to stop abuse, not the industry.

This video really made me cry. I have retired greys as well as racers and I help out at the kennels and help to find them a good home to ensure this doesn't happen. Thankfully these incidents are becoming less frequent, but they shouldn't be happening at all. Greyhounds are the most fantastic pets.

We adopted our greyhound 4 years ago from a wonderful rescue group. He was very timid and had a shattered hind leg. We show him how gentle people can be and show him patience and love everyday. We found a greyhound only obedience class which helped alot too. Our dog is so thankful and so cute. He is a little social butterfly now but occassionally still gets spooked. I love greyhounds!
kevinandjen1020 4 years ago
Some greyhounds are timid yes. Most aren't. I have six retired racers. They are beautiful to watch in teh back yard. And not all are abused. There are bad people in the industry, and the kill truck still comes. :( But who is active here in getting greyhounds adopted besides me? What is actively being done by commenters? It's one thing to talk, but another to reach out and do.
Anyone who abuses or hurts an animal should be strung up.

In my neighbourhood, in Canada there is this beautiful lady who adopted a greyhound from a a racetrack in the USA. During the day while at work she has someone come in twice a day to walk her. It is really sad however because she had been just raced and kept caged she is unable to accept affection - she cowers and is extraordinarily timid. If you race a dog and claim to be different then the rest I dare say you are in denial - its like saying you do not believe in slavery but have one anyhow.

You cannot class all greyhound owners as being bad. I strive to make sure that the greyhounds at our kennel go to a good home. I foster some and I have 2 retired. I own racers but I never bet on them, I don't care if they win or lose but I love to see them run. I am not saying that the abuse doesn't go on in the unlicenced tracks but thankfully I have never come across it.

@SAVEGREYHOUNDS 1st of all, I can take my own conclusions from what she says and don´t need translation. 2nd, stuf like this are crimes commited by STUPID BASTARDS who deserve to hang, but what is the problem with making dogs who are built to RUN race, so long as the dog is respected (she saying that); kept healthy; well fed and enjoys what Nature has prepared him to do? And if the owner makes a buck out of it, where is the big crime? Is it not taxable? Is that the crime?!
businesscoutinho 1 year ago
the people who do this should be strung up, i own 7, but race only 4, the rest are retired through old age or injury, i would not dream of getting rid of them. it is the minority of people who do this in racing, stopping racing, will not stop cruelty, every breed gets abused by someone, are we to ban pets?????
sallywales2003 4 years ago
i really hope its a minority cos i really wanted to adopt a lab but seeing a lot of greyhounds for adoption from a volunteer rescue family???? my heart is breaking. Now, I really want a greyhound. I am praying I get a house with a big backyard so I can get more. I wasnt into animal rights a couple of years ago but seeing and hearing the desperation of the plight greyhounds changed my mind almost overnight.
naka63 3 years ago
No backyard needed - they have been in a cage, they are great in a small apartment. When they run they run so hard they really can't do it more than once a week and not long then. They are happy just being walked. They do like company though - and I've known people with two greyhounds in an apartment. They really are the best apartment dog there is - and they ad so much to your decor - any apartment is beautiful with a greyhound in it.
