Greyhound Racing: The Truth Behind the Greyhound Racing Industry

PROOF:
http://www.youtube.com/user/YesOnQuestion3#p/u/5/e74BTR9GkbI

Greyhounds are quite literally running for their lives.

Greyhound racing is arguably one of the most exploiting forms of entertainment that we have today. Yet people who go to these tracks oftentimes don´t even realize what they are truly supporting.

Yes, it is certainly no lie that greyhounds love to run. But no animal should have to run for the sole reason that people want to earn money. These dogs live for our entertainment.

They are not well socialized and miss out on so many things that make a dog a dog things like getting to romp and play at a park, or learn a trick or two from their owners, or get out and have some fun exploring. Instead, these beautiful creatures are subjected to confinement and deprivation for most of their lives. And these are the lucky ones.

The puppies that don´t make the cut are killed. They are killed, but why? The answer is simple. These are the puppies that they know won´t be profitable. If an animal isn´t profitable, then they are worthless in their eyes.

What is so different about these dogs than the dogs that people have as pets? If someone were to have a pet dog and do these things to him or her, wouldn´t that be animal cruelty? Why or how can this be justified? It simply can´t.

Watch this video to find out the truth yourself. And please, spread the word. The world is starting to wake up about this. Many states have started banning greyhound racing, and hopefully the rest of the world will follow suit.

So not counting the deaths on track this means 27 thousand dogs leave the industry each year, about 9thousand are rehomes leaving 21 thousand unaccounted for. So, please tell me where they go if there is nothing wrong with the industry.

This is load of bull. I have racing greyhounds. They don't get beaten. They enjoy racing, otherwise they wouldn't run. And why would you beat a dog and not feed it properly if you are trying to make go as fast as it can? There are also lots of regulations with retired greyhounds. So they don't get killed. Have you ever been to a greyhound kennel? I expect not. The dogs are happy. The trainers love the dogs. Otherwise they would devote their life to them.

@mrlesleylesley i am with you i also trained dogs at wgp and they are well taken care of this is bull and makes me upset to see

[erectance]

fucking bullshit.



[thedogvet]

Dead set fu%^wits you do-gooders.....get the FACTS. If I come back as any dog I will WANT IT TO BE AS A GREYHOUND. Nothing more than a media beat up...go and save a whale or something you clowns.

[idtvmedia]

Pity, that you do not bring a single proof! Just theses. That is not enough.



[IamIVYHope]

I have two twin girl greyhounds who look exctly alike. they were to slow for the puppy races so that means they were put up for adoption. and i am asured its true alot of greyhounds die but the people dont do it for the money. the dogs are properky feed if they wee they wouldnt be able to race most of this is fake!

[misterthingy]

I notice the comments in favor of racing fail to address all those who are euthanized. Breeding animals to race and then euthanizing them as soon as they fail to perform well is an example of human greed and inhumanity. The same goes for circus animals and race horses. Tomorrow I am picking up a rescued racer.

My grandmother has a greyhound, she used to race and always get 1st or 2nd place almost every time. Under the circumstances, however, she is very well taken care of. She's retired now and living life to the fullest :)

[GoldenFeatherKid]

Who cares? They're just some stupid dogs, nothing more, nothing less. They're meant for racing, they're bred for it, you tree-humping morons. Animals are creatures which have no feelings, they can be killed whenever we, humans, want.

If we can suck money out of these pooping bastards, then I'm all hands up for that!

[XombieGal]

What a load of rubbish I race greyhounds. The dogs are extremely well cared for. 

[frowboy22]
