Right on cue Micki. Thanks for weighing in with your opinion.

As with dukedogsmom above, I'm sorry that this thread is boring you. Like the rest of your friendly crowd, you seemed more than willing to jump all over people who disagreed with you in the first greyhound thread. Were you one of those who posted anonymously on GT to attack that individual over there?

Remember this one?:

You just have no clue. Grow up and realize that you DON'T know everything about every thing. Open yourself up to learning something once in a while instead of acting like your opinion and "experience" is the only thing that's real.

I won't suggest that you need to grow up, but I do suggest you heed your own advice. Considering that your own background in greyhounds is as small as hers, your opinion and your "experience" count for no more or less than hers (at least she spent a great deal of time on GT and has listened to both sides of the issue). It's interesting how you would debate these issues with her but not with us. Perhaps you sense that you don't really know enough to debate.

My offer still stands. You have people with direct experience in greyhound racing right here on these boards. Instead of sighing and sniping at the thread, ask pointed questions of us. Seek explanations. What do you want to know or are you completely educated in greyhounds?

We are well aware that not everything is perfect in our sport. We are working very hard to get it where it needs to be. We are doing a much better job than any of you give us credit for.

Here is Rock's and my web site.
http://www.raceforadoption.com/

Our goal is to have 100 RFA dogs running at tracks across the country. The web site is very comprehensive and delves into a variety of aspects of greyhound raising, training, racing and retirement.

http://www.gra-america.org/ has a lot of useful information as well.
