The Greyhound is an ancient and elegant
breed.From what I've read about them, they
were originaly kept individually as hunting
dogs and treasured like family members.
I think the idea of "kenneling" these dogs
and pitting them against each other by
running them around a course in a 'fake'
chase purely for the enjoyment of onlookers
is degrading and cruel..
A "racing" Greyhound's "useful" life is
barely four years, what then?? Rescue from
'the racing life'?,or hopefully a quick
death... What a life humans have imposed on
these beautiful creatures...
