Not only is greyhound racing a dying sport, but it’s also so waning that many greyhound tracks have closed this year.  We hope Tucson Greyhound Park (TGP) closes in 2008.

When a track closes it means that they were losing money as people don’t know how to handicap the dogs and rather go to glitzy indian gaming casinos. Also the people who used to go to the greyhound race tracks are dying off and the younger generations have grown up watching Animal Planet and are hip to the greyhound abuse that prevails.

The latest greyhound race track to close was Cloverleaf in Loveland, Colo., on December 4.

And the Corpus Christi greyhound race track will close on December 31.

We hope that both tracks will take responsibility finding adoptive homes for these deserving hounds.
