I know many in the racing industry that do hold their adoptable greyhounds until a group is found. I recently adopted a senior that spent two years on his owner's farm until a group took him. There is good and bad in any walk of life. However, to look at a group as a whole and label them bad, abusive, neglectful, etc. is irresponsible and narrow-minded. A friend of mine, a greyhound owner, has been in racing since the 70's and he has never put down a greyhound. I applaud him and all the responsible owners. I have had owner's donate money and food to our program. I have had them call me to find out where their greyhound was adopted. The racing industry is committed to achieving 100% adoption, I know that we are trying to help them get there.
Some adoption groups like to keep the AR agenda going. They believe it helps them with their adoption numbers. The "save a life" hook is too tempting for them.
