1993 On-The-Line: Cradle to Grave (BBC2) Using undercover tactics, journalists investigate cruelty in greyhound racing in both the UK and Ireland. All essential aspects of the greyhound racing industry such as over breeding, training with live bait, staggering injury figures, doping, vivisection and export to Spain are brilliantly portrayed in this award winning documentary. Seven people were convicted of animal cruelty as a result of the investigation. Yet the most shocking feature of this daring film is that despite being made 15 years ago it remains as relevant now as it has ever been before.
You folks who are doing this will all go to hell, and I will help you to find your way there.

It never ceases to amaze me how the people in the sport are so desensitized to the suffering of these poor animals.Numbers are always minimized and its all justified as bringing income to an area.Human trafficking brings an income too but it doesn't mean its right.
People need to start realizing that how we treat our animals will have a direct impact on how we treat our fellow human beings!

Sadly, little has changed regarding the welfare of these beautiful and sensitive animals since this excellent programme was made. The National Greyhound Racing Club has shown time and time again that they care only about the BUSINESS of racing. I consider all the people involved in this vile industry utterly repulsive.
