I made a 3 minute podcast as part of my radio work. The title is Should Greyhound Racing be banned? I argue why it shouldn't be banned! Have a listen - as I am willing to hear both sides of the argument. Check out my channel and click on the link to my webpage to check it out!
That dogs is so amazing! I respect them! That sport is not horrible, they that call it "horrible", "animal cruelty". Think like this, the dog can not stand like a shampion if he/she didn't love to run! If the dogs love it, they can race.
@MaggaLeon you dont understand. they abuse these dogs if they dont win. if you dont believe me type ''greyhound abuse'' and a bunch of titles will show up! it is sadly, all true.
These dogs are amazing...its just sad and a shame how stupid people take advantage of their natural skills to get money and they dont think twice about the animanl...
I don't mind racing, the dogs love it. The only thing that is bad is how the owners and trainers treat the dogs sometimes and what happens to them after. I've met a few people who race greys and they treat their dogs like kings then they are rehomed into loving families.It's just some people. Love greyhounds they are amazing loving dogs :)
i think after they race they should all get a rabbit and the winner should either get 2 rabbit or a large rabbit and a few pieces of cat food or a bone

how can you honestly say this is cruel? if you watch the dogs are chasing a furry toy around the track. If this is cruel then surely taking your own dog for a walk and throwing a ball for it is just as cruel?
Because theres so much money involved with this racing, these are some very well kept animals. Its very rare you find a trainer that treats them badly.
Everyone thinks that the racing is the horrible part "Greyhounds shouldn't race, it's just cruel." That's not it. I rescued a greyhound and you'd think that they would stop running, but i literally had a ring around my backyard from my greyhound running around over and over again. I didn't force him. They really do love it. But it's the cruel trainers that stuff them in tiny cages. He had scars from rubbing up against a small crate. He's much better now. R.I.P. Forbes <3
granted there are greyhounds that are abused or neglected but the people that are saying ther torchered are forgeting what they were bred for running . Granted im sure they would prefur a home to a crate but greyhounds love running whether its lure coursing , racing or chasing something in a field ther doing something they love.
the racing i don't but too much of well give them a heart attack lower the number of races just a bit and don't kill the losers but them in a good foster home or a no kill shelter there problem solved dirty work is done
What may happen to these dogs when their career is over certainly is disturbing, but there are many rescues and thousands of people who adopt out these dogs. To those who say it is torture, or abuse, I say you can't make an animal run, and they do it because they love it. Greyhound racing is similar to horse racing. Try making a 1200lb animal do something it doesn't want to do...kind of hard. This is an industry, same as horse racing, and a load of PETA people aren't going to shut it down.
so many people want to jump on this video as a breach of animal rights and how barbaric the sport is...please read up on the modern day sport and not the sport of ten or fifteen years ago. Many organisations are in place to make sure these dogs find loving owners after their racing days. Campaign about things like shark finning, a real and obvious barbaric tradition instead of this, a sport where dogs enjoy running and are cared for, during racing days and most importantly after they've retired
The greyhound racing industry breeds approximately 50,000 puppies each year. Of these animals, only 15,000 actually become racing dogs. The rest are "retired," used as breeding stock, or, in a more likely scenario, shot and destroyed.
@DrumGEA The racing industry also sells thousands of dogs considered unfit for racing to laboratories, which experiment on animals. Thus, greyhound racing functions not only as a "sport" and gambling enterprise, but as a breeding facility for cruel vivisection practices.
You are apparently not along the most intelligent but atleast have the decency in you to think twice before posting anything so extremely stupid.
I have a greyhound, he's my second, and honestly, greyhounds shouldn't have to go through this. They're too delacte, and they're so sweet. A lot still get put down after they retire. We need to stop that. SAVE THE GREYHOUNDS!!!!!!!
These dogs do love it . Its what happens after they finish racing that can be cruel, I have volunteered at retired greyhound kennels for the last 4 years please anyone that can support your local branch help them out or rehome a greyhound they are such beautiful affectionate dogs.
@MsMoneyback HI! Have you ever heard of Greyhound Angels? go to there website its a great place! Do you have any Greyhounds? I have 2 join my club its called Greyhound (Retired racer) lovers
God, I didn't know this existed! It look like horse racing but with dogs!!Cool! I'm insane by every racing or jumping animal so...it's one more thing to be crazy about lol
trying to stop a grehound to run is like trying to stop a dolphin to swim, a falcon to fly, or a or lion to hunt. its against there nature, its all they know how to do.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LOL this is hilarious, its like race horse wannabes, racing horses is much better, more dangerous, epic, scary, and exciting....they are much more powerful, fast, muscled, and beautiful...racehorses are better
That winning dog is not a greyhound, it is a sloughi which is the morrocan saluki...she could have run like that for half an hour since they are hunting gazelles in the desert.
Thank you. We were lucky he was waiting on us. He has actually fattened up. 85 lbs now. Loves to run still. We throw toys in the backyard. What power when he runs! Bring him back inside and he flops on his bed! He is the best!
@chillyman99 It may or may not be true that Greyhounds are the second fastest land animal. The Pronghorn Antelope (though not actually an antelope) has been clocked faster.
ya but its not only the greyhound breed of dog that do be killed..Unfortunatly it happens to every breed of animals. Greyhounds is just one industry that is always picked on..there is never a word mentioned about the people whos livelyhood depends on this..who dedicate 7days a week to these animals..and i dont understand what you are trying to say william but yes after a dog is finished racin she can be used for breedin purposes. there are groups f people settin up retirement homes for greyhound
Isnt a more likely that a retired dog gets put to sleep? After all, the racing industry breeds 50 000 puppies each year and out of those only 15 000 makes it into the racing business.
yh, dogs go "missing" after racing they also go to retirement homes or their owners take them home to be a pet dog, but what if they do finish after they are finished racing arnt the bred mainly for racing purposes?
not every1 kills the dogs after they get injured or retire from racin..some people breed their dogs for future pups!also there are many volunteers who work with greyhounds gettin them new homes where they enjoy the remaining life!!
nobody should agree with animal cruelty but guess what it happens with every breed of animals not just greyhound
what, horse racing are much better, "normal", even dough jockey are sitting on horses back and hitting him the hole race. Dogs racing are one of the best animal sport that exist.
why would government put money into the industry if it was cruel..and why would there be so many people involved?
the dogs are bred to run and thoroughly enjoy it. i own two race dogs and from the moment you drive in the gates of the track you can see the dogs eyes light up..
its people spreadin malicious lies lik that that are destroyin the inday.
the thing that I understood looking at the debate and also the way I see it is that the dogs aren't beaten up or anything . I think what people are complaining about is the life that the dog leads ! he is in a cage when he isn't training or racing and when something happens to him ( broken leg or something .... the owner dosen't cure him with the intention of bringing him back but simply kill them !!! which I am against ! if only the dogs could play when not doing anything
half of these animal rights wankers need to get their facts straight. The dogs love running. end of. Yes some die after racing and occasionaly need to be put down if really badly injured, but just like other dogs that are put down because someone cant afford a vets bill. Ive got a racing greyhound and he will be coming home with me when his career is over and many owners take their dogs home
@lafurheartout lol you obviously don't know what you're talking about. Have you ever met a greyhound? Have you ever met a dog for that matter? Just because you look like a dog doesn't mean you know about it. Get your facts straight
@lafurheartout you need to get your facts straight and spendd sometime with greyhounds. they do love running and are extremely excited to compete. the only problem is that some owners are neglectful and spoil the sport by not taka\ing proper care of the dogs. it's a great sport though and the dogs get a lot of pleasure out of competing.
@tomimpey100 thankyou, for understanding. the dogs do love their sport andn it's a great sport. the only problem is that some owners are neglectful after their dog is thru racing. if some owners weren't so pigheaded then their would be no problem with this sport at all!
@rintrah81 you're exactly the type i was aiming my first post at. When they go in the traps and they see the hare, they run by choice. they aren't whipped, nobody tells them they won't be getting any dinner if they don't chase it! they are the only dogs used in this sport (which is why they call it greyhound racing) as they have a love for running. I just thought i'd need to spell it out as you seem pretty simple. This page is for those who care about the sport and the dogs, not for thick cunts
@rintrah81 if you had met a greyhound or spent time with one, you'd know they enjoy running. You clearly haven't as you don;t have a clue what you're talking about so please kindly fuck off and write to the RSPCA complaining about your next door neighbour keeping a goldfish in a bowl or something. You've made yourself look an ignorant idiot on this page well enough. Go to kennels where they keep greyhounds and look at the conditions and how happy they are to race so you can educate yourself
The greyhound racing industry breeds approximately 50,000 puppies each year. Of these animals, only 15,000 actually become racing dogs. The rest are "retired," used as breeding stock, or, in a more likely scenario, shot and destroyed.
The racing industry also sells thousands of dogs considered unfit for racing to laboratories, which experiment on animals. Thus, greyhound racing functions not only as a "sport" and gambling enterprise, but as a breeding facility for cruel vivisection practices.
You are apparently not along the most intelligent but atleast have the decency in you to think twice before posting anything so extremely stupid.
@CarlMinez This page is for people who love these animals and care about the sport and what happens to the dogs afterwards. Because of the work carried out by organisations such as British Greyhound Racing Trust and The Retired Greyhound Trust, That sort of thing does not take place in dog racing these days. Unless done so by the owner not to the knowledge of the racing authorities and therefore carried out by the individual who could do the same with any animal.
@CarlMinez If an individual does this, then shame on them. Overall, the sport is not how it once was maybe ten years ago and now there anre regulations in place about the welfare of the dogs. Problem is half the people quick to put this down know so little about the subject. So I think it's you rather than me who is amongst the unintelligent. Go and criticise a sport that actually is barbaric, but read up on it first and educate yourself further before embarrasing yourself again
Now your just being being hypocritical in order to defend yourself.
But please, educate me. Tell me about these new "regulations" that you speak of. - Because my sources speak of a different story. Only four states, California, Maine, Vermont, and Virginia, have banned greyhound racing. Maybe youve just never asked yourself why evidently so many are against this "sport"?
@CarlMinez I've messaged some links to your page. Educate yourself before you start embarassing yourself again. This race is in Ireland. Nothing to do with how dogs are treated in racing in the USA. If you could say you've seen first hand how dogs are treated in the UK and Ireland...I'd listen to your point even though I know it to be wrong. But as you are in Sweden...you don't know what you're talking about. Read the links and educate yourself
Is it really that hard to take being insulted? This far youve been spamming me with several guestbook comments, replies and tree private message. If you want to give the impression of being anything else than pathetic youve sure failed miserably.
As to your links. You must be joking right? I present sources founded on scientific documentation. With facts confirmed by major animal right organizations You give me links from various obviously partial Greyhound Racing companies?
@CarlMinez don't worry I'll avoid it, you send me a load of american shit and tell me its valid because you had a chat once with a british breeder, where's the validity in that? you're an idiot, you haven't seen anything yourself first hand. Clearly as they say...you can't educate pork. You're another person sitting behind a computer screen angry at things he doesn't really know about....go and bother someone else
Bother someone else? I would do no such thing! Im perfectly fine bothering you. But okay, fine. Lets say that the animal right organizations are wrong and that you British are alone in the world to have a completely "clean" greyhound racing industry. Can you see that one business in one country can contribute to a similar business in another country without the same legislations? - How the problem would remain on a global level?
I was surprised to learn that you are in fact 26. Youd think that a grown man would handle such a controversial subject in a more mature manner. Did you even read those links i sent you? You are not even open to the possibility of your precious hound racing being anything else than a harmless sport despite the evidence suggesting otherwise.
And yet, despite your obvious display of ignorance, you have the guts to question my knowledge? You dont see the paradox in that?
@CarlMinez Right...firstly not 26...not that you have anyreason to know what age I am so please don't stalk me. Secondly, you don't know what you're talking about and you have seen nothing first hand. You're not even from England and you've never been to uk or irish kennels hence you are talking out of your arse. Please do me a favour and bother someone else, you haven't got better things to do with your time, but I have.
I was about to say that you deserve a very painful death but that would be terribly mean. So ill just end with saying that you have no idea what you are talking about.
Of course dogs want to run! Especially if they've been picked and bred to do so--that's not the issue, therefore not an argument for pro racing. And no one has the right to take the life of another. If it weren't for animal rights' activists THOUSANDS more (perfectly healthy) greyhounds would be put to death every year.
I LOVE how some people look down on the animal rights activists, saying they give too much credit to the animals' thinking, feelings, and hooray we let them out five times a day, etc...and here we witness them keeping them in cages all their days in order for people (most of them not wealthy) to spend their money on them running around in a circle. How dumb is that? Why don't you all run around in a circle, and put your well-earned money on that instead?
Shelbourne Aston always kicks on so well like that. Ran against my dog in the English derby. All the idiots who say that the sport is cruel are idiots. The dogs love running and they enjoy being around other dogs in the kennels.
Yeah they love running ... a very good arguement!!!... Therefore the humans should kill them if they're not able to run anymore (old/illness/broken legs)
just like other dogs, if theyre really old or in pain they are put down out of their misery. Whether thats right or wrong is a different argument, but when they retire from racing there are many more establishments dedicated to re-homing them now. Majority of people involved in the sport don't want to see the dogs die and do care for their welfare.
no thay are not i used to work with them since i was born and the dogs all get one meal a day and is let out for turnouts 5 times a day and they r fun dogs so shut up u dont know a thing about them u stupid freak
I suggest you consider taking a short course in logic, you state that dog racing is worse than war , After that comment I'm afraid rational discourse is apparently not one of your interests.

ya but its not only the greyhound breed of dog that do be killed..Unfortunatly it happens to every breed of animals. Greyhounds is just one industry that is always picked on..there is never a word mentioned about the people whos livelyhood depends on this..who dedicate 7days a week to these animals..and i dont understand what you are trying to say william but yes after a dog is finished racin she can be used for breedin purposes. there are groups f people settin up retirement homes for greyhound
annacos2 2 years ago
@annacos2
Isnt a more likely that a retired dog gets put to sleep? After all, the racing industry breeds 50 000 puppies each year and out of those only 15 000 makes it into the racing business.
CarlMinez 1 year ago
yh, dogs go "missing" after racing they also go to retirement homes or their owners take them home to be a pet dog, but what if they do finish after they are finished racing arnt the bred mainly for racing purposes?
williamS6369 2 years ago
not every1 kills the dogs after they get injured or retire from racin..some people breed their dogs for future pups!also there are many volunteers who work with greyhounds gettin them new homes where they enjoy the remaining life!!
nobody should agree with animal cruelty but guess what it happens with every breed of animals not just greyhound

greyhound racing is not cruel to the animals..
why would government put money into the industry if it was cruel..and why would there be so many people involved?
the dogs are bred to run and thoroughly enjoy it. i own two race dogs and from the moment you drive in the gates of the track you can see the dogs eyes light up..
its people spreadin malicious lies lik that that are destroyin the inday.

Its not cruel, until they are no good at racing any more. Many are then abandoned or killed.
Squadron266 2 years ago
the thing that I understood looking at the debate and also the way I see it is that the dogs aren't beaten up or anything . I think what people are complaining about is the life that the dog leads ! he is in a cage when he isn't training or racing and when something happens to him ( broken leg or something .... the owner dosen't cure him with the intention of bringing him back but simply kill them !!! which I am against ! if only the dogs could play when not doing anything

half of these animal rights wankers need to get their facts straight. The dogs love running. end of. Yes some die after racing and occasionaly need to be put down if really badly injured, but just like other dogs that are put down because someone cant afford a vets bill. Ive got a racing greyhound and he will be coming home with me when his career is over and many owners take their dogs home

tomimpey100 1 year ago
@lafurheartout you need to get your facts straight and spendd sometime with greyhounds. they do love running and are extremely excited to compete. the only problem is that some owners are neglectful and spoil the sport by not taka\ing proper care of the dogs. it's a great sport though and the dogs get a lot of pleasure out of competing.
ReptiCon725 1 year ago
@tomimpey100 thankyou, for understanding. the dogs do love their sport andn it's a great sport. the only problem is that some owners are neglectful after their dog is thru racing. if some owners weren't so pigheaded then their would be no problem with this sport at all!

rintrah81 1 year ago
@rintrah81 you're exactly the type i was aiming my first post at. When they go in the traps and they see the hare, they run by choice. they aren't whipped, nobody tells them they won't be getting any dinner if they don't chase it! they are the only dogs used in this sport (which is why they call it greyhound racing) as they have a love for running. I just thought i'd need to spell it out as you seem pretty simple. This page is for those who care about the sport and the dogs, not for thick cunts
tomimpey100 1 year ago
@rintrah81 if you had met a greyhound or spent time with one, you'd know they enjoy running. You clearly haven't as you don;t have a clue what you're talking about so please kindly fuck off and write to the RSPCA complaining about your next door neighbour keeping a goldfish in a bowl or something. You've made yourself look an ignorant idiot on this page well enough. Go to kennels where they keep greyhounds and look at the conditions and how happy they are to race so you can educate yourself

@tomimpey100
The greyhound racing industry breeds approximately 50,000 puppies each year. Of these animals, only 15,000 actually become racing dogs. The rest are "retired," used as breeding stock, or, in a more likely scenario, shot and destroyed.
CarlMinez 1 year ago
@tomimpey100
The racing industry also sells thousands of dogs considered unfit for racing to laboratories, which experiment on animals. Thus, greyhound racing functions not only as a "sport" and gambling enterprise, but as a breeding facility for cruel vivisection practices.
You are apparently not along the most intelligent but atleast have the decency in you to think twice before posting anything so extremely stupid.
CarlMinez 1 year ago
@CarlMinez This page is for people who love these animals and care about the sport and what happens to the dogs afterwards. Because of the work carried out by organisations such as British Greyhound Racing Trust and The Retired Greyhound Trust, That sort of thing does not take place in dog racing these days. Unless done so by the owner not to the knowledge of the racing authorities and therefore carried out by the individual who could do the same with any animal.
tomimpey100 1 year ago
@CarlMinez If an individual does this, then shame on them. Overall, the sport is not how it once was maybe ten years ago and now there anre regulations in place about the welfare of the dogs. Problem is half the people quick to put this down know so little about the subject. So I think it's you rather than me who is amongst the unintelligent. Go and criticise a sport that actually is barbaric, but read up on it first and educate yourself further before embarrasing yourself again
tomimpey100 1 year ago
@tomimpey100
Now your just being being hypocritical in order to defend yourself.
But please, educate me. Tell me about these new "regulations" that you speak of. - Because my sources speak of a different story. Only four states, California, Maine, Vermont, and Virginia, have banned greyhound racing. Maybe youve just never asked yourself why evidently so many are against this "sport"?
CarlMinez 1 year ago
@CarlMinez I've messaged some links to your page. Educate yourself before you start embarassing yourself again. This race is in Ireland. Nothing to do with how dogs are treated in racing in the USA. If you could say you've seen first hand how dogs are treated in the UK and Ireland...I'd listen to your point even though I know it to be wrong. But as you are in Sweden...you don't know what you're talking about. Read the links and educate yourself

Bother someone else? I would do no such thing! Im perfectly fine bothering you. But okay, fine. Lets say that the animal right organizations are wrong and that you British are alone in the world to have a completely "clean" greyhound racing industry. Can you see that one business in one country can contribute to a similar business in another country without the same legislations? - How the problem would remain on a global level?

I was surprised to learn that you are in fact 26. Youd think that a grown man would handle such a controversial subject in a more mature manner. Did you even read those links i sent you? You are not even open to the possibility of your precious hound racing being anything else than a harmless sport despite the evidence suggesting otherwise.
And yet, despite your obvious display of ignorance, you have the guts to question my knowledge? You dont see the paradox in that?
CarlMinez 1 year ago
@CarlMinez Right...firstly not 26...not that you have anyreason to know what age I am so please don't stalk me. Secondly, you don't know what you're talking about and you have seen nothing first hand. You're not even from England and you've never been to uk or irish kennels hence you are talking out of your arse. Please do me a favour and bother someone else, you haven't got better things to do with your time, but I have.

Of course dogs want to run! Especially if they've been picked and bred to do so--that's not the issue, therefore not an argument for pro racing. And no one has the right to take the life of another. If it weren't for animal rights' activists THOUSANDS more (perfectly healthy) greyhounds would be put to death every year.
ldygwedion 2 years ago
I LOVE how some people look down on the animal rights activists, saying they give too much credit to the animals' thinking, feelings, and hooray we let them out five times a day, etc...and here we witness them keeping them in cages all their days in order for people (most of them not wealthy) to spend their money on them running around in a circle. How dumb is that? Why don't you all run around in a circle, and put your well-earned money on that instead?

Yeah they love running ... a very good arguement!!!... Therefore the humans should kill them if they're not able to run anymore (old/illness/broken legs)
strokesflorian 2 years ago
just like other dogs, if theyre really old or in pain they are put down out of their misery. Whether thats right or wrong is a different argument, but when they retire from racing there are many more establishments dedicated to re-homing them now. Majority of people involved in the sport don't want to see the dogs die and do care for their welfare.
