Greyhound Racing

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Greyhound Racing, I find, is a sport of animal cruelty. It has come to my attention how awful these animals have been treated. Like horse racing, it is exhilerating to watch these animals zoom across the tracks at a ridiculous speed... but the sport is very inhumane. Greyhounds are being massively bred for a desire to attain the fastest Greys for the tracks. Sadly, most of these dogs do not cut it and are euthanized. In the U.S. alone, 7,500 to 20,000 greyhounds are euthanized each year just because they aren't fast enough, or their racing days are coming to an end. Most Greyhounds do not get to live a full life, and many suffer with disgusting living conditions until their dying day.

Even though the sport may appear to be very exciting, don't fall for the pretense. Animals aren't here for our monetary gain or our sick entertainment. Greyhounds deserve a loving life just as much as the next dog. More attention should be given to the horrible practice of Greyhound racing and awarness should be spread to help end it.
