Can you ride 'em?

[hursty2209]

all these do gooders commenting on the greyhound industry like you actually know what your talking about haha if you actually looked into and realised that everyone involved are animal lovers these people LOVE greyhounds thats why they do it they spend countless hours of time money and effort so they can race them which gives the dogs purpose and keeps them at peak fitness. and to anyone who says its for the money your kidding yourself the amount of starters compared to winners is 8-1..

Torri, thank you for helping to show the good side of racing. :)

@hursty2209 i think what all the 'do gooders' are saying is that there are people of the greyhound racing community that pay a alot of money for some of the best dogs there are, never interact with them, keep them in cages for the majority of the time, and don't let the animal experience being a pet.

this woman here obviously isn't one of them. but there are plenty of videos out there that show greyhounds that have recently retired who don't know what stairs are and are terrified of everything

I have seen these dogs when they are first brought off the track. One female dog came to the adoption farm and she was 15 years old. She was a good racer when she was younger so the breed her and breed her and breed her. When she got to the farm she was literally skin and bones. She had hardly and muscle left on her and even though whe had been sooo poorly treated she was the sweetest creature you could ever meet. All she wanted was to be loved.

These dogs are treated like disposable commodities. The amount of money a dog generates determines his or her expendability. Greyhounds deserve to be treated like pets, just like other dogs, not as a commodity in an industry that exists to exploit them for money. This sport is predicated on over-breeding in an attempt to find the one good runner, many will be put down, some while still puppies. Now, as these tracks become less popular the tracks are seeking tax relief and subsidies.
