Well, now... Let's see, my hound ran 59 races (see above post for her last 5 race stats) and when she got hurt and was no longer winning..was she "KILLED"? No wait, she couldn't have been.. she's sleeping on my bed right now!

As far as the "not treated well or loved"... Quick little story, when I was able to track down my hound's breeder, I told her who my dog was and I could literally HEAR the woman smile over the phone. She was so happy to learn that one of her babies made it to a comfy couch and was living a good retired life in Sunny San Diego. Not only was she happy to hear that, but, she without hesitation went into several stories about Sequoia when she was a puppy. Now, mind you, this is a woman that breeds and races some of the best dogs for the best tracks in the country. For her to remember a SINGLE hound out of the many that she's welped.. I think that speaks to the level of care and love that these hounds get.

Now.. about the "If you do not know what you are talking about, please do not comment" comment... Pot meet Kettle

ANYONE with even the slightest experience with dog racing knows the horrors of it. EVERY racing greyhound will be killed when it no longer a winner.

Not ONE of them was treated well or loved, and ALL of them were literally snatched from death's door.
