Greyhound Racing

                                                             DOG RACING
                                                                  A disgust


Dog racing . What is the big deal ? Greyhound racing is BAD .Tens of thousands of dogs are killed each year .Only about half of the dogs born each year reach training and naming age . Thousands of canines are killed routinely.  These dogs spend most of their time confined in a small kennel that is too small and for what ? What is the point ?It is cruelty which should make it the same as dog fighting should it not ? In some countries it is banned which is good . Injuries and sickness takes the lives of many dogs . On average a greyhound used for racing dies every three days . If we do not eat dogs why do we fight and race them it is all equally as cruel ? Some of the insane things that happen out on the track are : heatstroke, broken legs ,broken necks , heart attacks ,and I am sure dehydration , and this is not all . So clearly greyhounds or any dogs or animals for that matter should not be raced that includes horses ! There are many greyhound adoption place where you can help stop this cruelty . Greyhounds as pets [GAP ] is a New Zealand greyhound charity that re-homes retired racers . Greyhound Rescue West of  England is a British Greyhound Rescue [www.grwe.com ] . Greyhounds as pets of America is another rescue site in America . And there are many more around the world I am sure ,so please if you are thinking of buying a dog do look into rescued greyhounds or other rescued dogs [preferably adults ] . THANK YOU .
