i ask again, how many healthy dogs is it ok to kill so greyound racing can continue? my view is none.
if you truly believe animal rights groups are paying to get 'guys' to beat animals to death while they film it well thats your choice.
lets just ingnore every other piece of evidence comming out about live export trade, like the photos of conditions on the ships taken by the industrys own vet. who was then sacked because she wrote a report for the industry bringing up these things.
Would you please stop twisting what I say? I am very strongly against live exports. All what I am saying that you cannot believe everything. I have seen footage produced by some of these groups which was very obviously set up, and later it was proved that it was set up. There was some very creative editing done, like when comment by a vet was put over different, totally unrelated footage. There were number of things from the "Pedigreed dogs exposed" which were proved in court to be either false or .
inaccurate
I am against ALL cruelty against animals, and I am greatly suspicious of anybody who selects one section for his/hers hatred. We need single law that bans all cruelty and gives proper powers to some agency to deal with anybody who is cruel to animals. Did you get the bit in the live baiting program where they said that somebody in the RSPCA used to warn the trainers when the inspector was ?

PETA and related organisation have an agenda; they are not keeping it secret that they believe that ownership of pets should be abolished because it is cruel. They have set their sights on greyhounds, because it is an easy target. Number of people actually racing the dogs is not great. They managed to whip up public indignation and very likely that will be end of racing, but also end of this lovely breed. They will then go after breeders and dog shows, again they can point to some bad practices and horrify public, and even if courts then decide that the reports were not accurate, that is not something the ordinary people will hear about, because it does not make a good headline. Once showing and breeding of pedigree dogs is gone, all they have to do is to discredit the puppy farms. That will not be so difficult, puppy farms are inherently cruel. Dogs and cats have over the tens of thousands of years bonded with humans. They need their own human to be happy. My dogs are right besides me whatever I am doing, and when I go out my cat sits on the window as I pull out of the driveway and is still there when I come home watching for me, and as I unlock the front door both dogs and cat are there to greet me. The breeding animals in puppy farms, even if the kennels are nice, do not get the human interaction they need.
