Here is what I was talking about. This is IGNORANCE!!

Just the key word rescuers, did these people go to the track late at night, sneak into the kennels, sweep the dog out of there crates and take them to an undisclosed location that the owners of the hounds didn't know about?

HELL NO!!! These dogs were handed over to the adoption groups by people who care about the hounds. Hell the owners probably send the groups a donation that no one talks about because they don't want people knowing about the caring greyhound owners!!

If you have a problem with the fact that the dogs run and the owners make money that's one thing but to claim that these dogs are treated poorly is a whole other story.

Until you go to a track and see the real workings of it then I dont' think that you should go spouting off at the mouth.

Doesn't people realize that greyhounds will get homes quicker by saying how poorly they are treated than. YOu know that whole pity thing?

So that's what I'm saying, educate yourselves a bit that's all

But let me tell you this, you have NO IDEA that rescuers see on a daily friggin' basis with this industry. These dogs are killed, cast aside, left to die, and then the lucky ones are euthanized. Some are beaten to death. Some are starved. Their care is usually no better than at a puppy mill, unless they're a winning dog or a dog that shows promise that it will one day be a winner.
