once the truth comes out as it has there is no excuse for continuing to abuse animals for entertainment/gambling
What truth?
A few bad apples but your tar everyone with the same brush because of them.
You ever being to a greyhound track and seen the excitement the dogs have when they arrive and when they go out to race?
Obviously not as then you wouldn't sprout this garbage.
Don't forget all pets as you throw balls and do other things for them to chase so you are forcing them to chase
even though they see it as fun but surely that can't be true so they have to go because they may get injured..
Then off course you have the millions of cats destroying our native wildlife so cats definitely need to be destroyed because those are vicious killers so they all need to be destroyed.
With greyhound racing they chase a lure because they want to as once the lids open it's their choice to do whatever they want and they can't be forced to run.
Rules and regulation are now a lot stricter and and checks are made more often so the industry is doing everything they can for the health and welfare of the dogs but people still sprout how it's cruel when they have no idea how well cared for those animals are now.
You want to ban it all then there will be no choice but to destroy all the dogs as Gap couldn't house them all.
Then of course you will need to destroy every animal on earth because SOME could be abused so you need to destroy them all as that's the only way it will work for to stop that abuse.
Surely every zoo animal is abused as they are kept in cages and some are forced to perform as do other animals so that all has to go.
Remember it's fine for a "normal" dog to be chained up,to be taught to attack,locked into a small kennel and all sorts of other abuse but you miss treat a greyhound then there are big fines involved.
Horses (and ex racehorses) are used for "cat mince" and perhaps other pet foods as well.
and yes I agree h/r is all about money,tab,and lining the pockets of some!
Like Lionrose said, there are other "sports" that are disgusting too!

The difference is, boxers CHOOSE to participate in that "sport". Racehorses don't have a choice. They are forced into it. They know they have to run, because if they don't, they get whipped. Oh wait, they get whipped regardless.
If they refuse to run, they end up in a can of Pal.
