95%? there is no basis for that number. (please dont post that faulty paulLnumbers thing again) its estimated that its more like 10k that are still put down. now mroe and more are adopted every year, but many racing owners still do not take financial responsibility for this and adoption is largely run by volunteers who have to fundraise just to get by.

like i said, things are getting better, but there are still enough things happening that it breaks your heart.

now jcsperson might be quick to point out, as he often does, that there are many more labs and golden retreaivers and pits put down every year. this is true. but two wrongs dont make a right and it should never dimish the putting down of any breed of dogs. they are all beautiful and they all deserve to live.
