I've been waiting for that myself, Kay.

I think everyone who read through all this carefully got a pretty good education. Most folks found out quite a lot that they never knew and many assumptions that they had made were shown to be founded on misinformation. The lesson learned is to never base your beliefs on hearsay or propaganda.

I never did figure out who here was "completely educated in greyhounds," the self-description that person used on GreyTalk. For whatever reason this individual chose not to reveal him/herself.

If anyone has any questions about greyhounds as a breed or greyhound racing, I can be found pretty easily over at GT.

Thanks for reading.

Actually, everything that I had previously thought was only confirmed. I never said that every single racer was bad, but there are a lot of bad ones out there. I have a problem with the bad ones and I have a problem with the gambling aspect. I have a problem of the mass-production of these dogs and I have a problem of them becoming disposable after they lose too much (not implying this is ALL of them). So all my opinions and beliefs remian the same. It has been fun talking to a majority of the people who came from Greytalk though and I hope they stay (doesn't look like you are).

I was one of the ones who posted Anonymously on the thread that was deleted. I didn't think to reveal myself only because no one there knew me anyway. I also didn't want to take the time to register because I don't have a Greyhound myself and this board takes up all of my forum time anyway. I am one of the ones that said I know Greyhounds - the BREED, not so much as the racing industry. I already stated in a previous post in this thread what I thought of the assumption that we don't know anything about Greyhounds here, so I won't repeat it.

I think I've said all I'm going to say on this subject. Its been great talking to people who have come over and given their opinions in a respectful manner. I hope to hear more from you in other threads on this forum!

I have never been to a dog race, nor would I ever go to a dog race. (or a horse race, for that matter)

Just for the record I was not the person who stated that I was completely educated on greyhounds. I'm not sure who said that, most of the people posting as guest did not say who they were over here.

I did learn things, especially different perspectives, but I also still have my own opinions and views on it all, mainly that the truth lies in the middle between the two extremes. I didn't want to keep arguing and stating my thoughts here as I felt I had done that enough already. I did enjoy coming to understand different perspectives, but no longer wish to debate the issue

I belong to greyhound message board and I have been there far longer then I have been on this board, I have learned a great deal from these people who are by the way rescuers as well. I hardly think I know all, but just because I have differning opinions hardly means I dont know anything, frankly I will continue to research and form my OWN opinions, which I have been doing for years now. I dont follow the crowd, and I dont buy into so called "statistics" that people make up on the spot. and frankly YOU are the one that needs to wake up and see things from another perspective, evedently you are to narow minded to look on the other side

i belong to the same message board and instead of just believing what others write, i beg you to please go out and volunteer for groups, and go to tracks farms and kennels, get very invovled adn see FOR YOURSELF waht is going on.

anyone can write anything on a message board or on the internet, when you see with your own eyes bad conditions it really wakes you up.

I think the whole point is to realize that there is a lot of good and evil in just about any endeavor where animals are involved (i'm including humans in that description).

If you had read through this thread, you'd see that site had already been posted about and discussed. You deleted your other greyhound racing threads, why are you bumping up buried ones now? You have obviously not read what the greyhound people have had to say about it here.

[horse_lover]

Can somebody please tell me how to post new threads? Sorry for not sticking to the subject!
