Let me say this...in my ignorance I did not realize this was such a controversial subject...I only polled it because they were talking about it at work and it made me think it was a good poll to add..I had no idea it would be such a heated topic. I apologize for my ignorance in asking it in the first place. I certainly did not mean for it to get out of hand.
I've had pet greyhounds since the late 80's, so I've heard and read the bashing for years. It gets much worse than this on greyhound boards. You have both ends of the spectrum and everything inbetween. There's the anti-racing faction, such as greyhoundracingsucks.com who will settle for nothing less than ending the "sport." There are pro-racing people who lurk on pet boards for the sole purpose of attacking anyone who says that atrocities still exist, and the industry needs improvement. If they can shove the dirt under the rug and drum up some recruits in the process, they're happy.

The truth probably lies somewhere between the two extremes. Most of us agree that the dogs love to run. There's no way you could know that these things are debated endlessly. You have a nice board here. Keep up the good work.
