Yesterday was a historic day for America. I watched TV for hours and screamed and cried and applauded with the greatness of each passing hour. Just seeing the throngs of people in Washington and other cities all gathered today for a peaceful common cause did my soul good.  This past year has also been historic for greyhound racing as voters in Mass. banned greyhound racing by the year 2010 and hopefully they throw in the towel sooner and live greyhound racing closed its doors in Kansas as well.  No matter how much spin the dog racing industry spews forth to say dogs are well cared for and adopted out, the voting public is hip to the truth. In reality, dogs still die – from injuries, from oops litters, from a myriad of gruesome ways.  

I do feel there is a change coming and am hopeful that people will

–continue to speak out against greyhound racing;

–continue to write letters to all sorts of media and post about the horrors on blogs and social media sites;

–continue to protest in public;

and

–continue their fight to end greyhound racing in the United States.  Let’s make 2009 — freedom from greyhound racing oppression.  Never stop fighting for what is right.
