Fixating on prey dooms them to a death sentence when they propel through barbed wire fences. And they are far too fragile to withstand the often pitted and always uneven terrain. Of course the handlers can always get more greyhounds, so they are seen as expendible and easily replaced, especially when there's a track like TGP nearby, where there is no concern for the welfare of the dogs loaded into haulers. Shame on Arizona for ignoring this travesty. Coyote hunting with greyhounds is like taking a Ferrari out dune buggying.

Dog racing has been around too long. Steps have been taken to end cockfighting, dog fighting and even the deplorable conditions of hog farms--but nothing has been done to end Dog Racing! Why? Because government officials only respond to pressure. It is time to turn up the heat on the politicians and get some action. They are public servants, let's get them to SERVE! jvt The abuse MUST STOP. Dog racing has been around too long.

You have to feel the anguish of what is happening to the greyhounds and realize you have to step up and do something. In their name, write to the officials in the government. Copy each letter to as many people as possible. You have to do this not once, but twice...and then some. We have to be heard. We have to be the rooos of all the greyhounds. We have to make as much noise as possible so that the media also starts to pay attention. This is right….we can’t just read this stuff and feel it for the moment.
