3. Running For Their Lives: The Realities Of Greyhound Racing | The Humane Society
   greyhound racing is cruel and inhumane and should be outlawed nationwide, says Carey Theil, president of GREY2K USA, a national antigreyhound-racing

   Extractions: By Rebecca Simmons Because greyhound racing has little to do with dogs and everything to do with money, scant regard is given to the humane treatment of the greyhounds. "This is an industry that places profits above the health and welfare of greyhounds," says Theil. How else would you explain the culling of unwanted dogs, a general disregard toward animal injury, and the inhumane living conditions that the dogs endure? Struggling to Survive "From the time they are born, they are judged for their racing ability," says Laura Bevan, director of the Southeast Regional Office of The HSUS. "As puppies they may be killed, or culled, if they don't have potential to be good racers. After that, any injury or slow down of speed can mean death. The dogs are a commercial product, and once it is determined that they don't have value as a racer at a track, their days are numbered." Throughout their racing career, the dogs routinely endure inhumane conditions and have little human contact. "Many greyhound farms are barely getting by financially, so the dogs are kept caged most of the time and fed low quality foods. Each dog is a major expense, which is why so many are killed when they are deemed unfit to race," says Bevan.

Not a single favorite won a qualifying round and in 3 of the 5 races the winner went off at over 10-1. WOW! This really spread out the points a bit as a couple of non factors in the 1st round gained some valuable points in their second efforts. Kudos goes out to the John Kelly Kennel and trainer Craig Holmes as they took home a pair of wins in the stakes from greyhounds that weren’t suppose to get it done.

   Extractions: The work of the Greyhound Protection League is dedicated to the hundreds of thousands of gentle, trusting greyhounds slaughtered in more than seventy years of parimutuel dog racing in America. The Greyhound Protection League is a national, non-profit, all volunteer organization dedicated to protecting greyhounds from the exploitation and abuses inherent in the greyhound racing industry. We believe that through education and continued media exposure, the public perception of greyhound racing will be altered from that of a harmless spectator activity to its brutal reality - a blood sport responsible for immense animal suffering and the routine killing of thousands of young, healthy dogs each year. Our efforts have already shown that once the greyhound racing industry no longer enjoys the support of the casual investor and the attendance of the general public, hardcore gamblers will not generate enough revenue to keep it in business. Continued pressure from the humane community, coupled with the growing public interest in casino gambling, will undoubtedly bring about the demise of dog racing. Founded in 1991, the

At commercial racetracks across the country, thousands of dogs live in warehouse-style kennels, confined for long hours each day in cages barely large enough for them to stand up or turn around. Every year, thousands of dogs are seriously injured while racing, and thousands more are killed when they are no longer able to compete. GREY2K USA is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to ending this cruelty. We are a network of humane-minded citizens who work to pass stronger dog protection laws and close down existing greyhound racetracks. We also offer adoption referral information to help the thousands of dogs still racing. GREY2K USA and the Committee to Protect Dogs are working to place the Greyhound Protection Act on the 2008 ballot. Massachusetts residents, please sign up to collect signatures!
