Firstly I want to welcome all of you from GT. I hope you stick around and enjoy PT.
I also want to give a link. That is from a greyhound rescue group here in florida. Here is a quote from it:
You need to understand that to most people here at pet talk this is unexceptionable. No pet wether it be a dog or a mouse should be without love and the best possible care. I am not saying that this is the case with every race dog, but there are way too many cases like this.A continuing program for Retired Racing Greyhounds.
When I run my Adopt A Greyhound, Everyone's a Winner, television show, everyone asks me how do I go about doing a Rescue. It's simple ... the phone rings ... there's an emergency somewhere with a bunch of greyhounds ... and we're on our way! The first thing that has to be arranged is a place for the animals to stay. No small feat when you've got 40-100 starving greyhounds that need to be medically treated, fed, sheltered and adopted.
400 in 2 weeks. You can see that there is a problem when that many dogs are going to a rescue in a 2 week time. I know that not every 2 week period of time that passes another 400 greyhounds are put into rescue groups, but for that to even happen once is disgusting.Let me tell you, rescuing 400 greyhounds in a two week period is a monumental task and without the Lord's help, it just couldn't be done.
