Wow!  Who would want to go to a dumpy dog track when they could go to a beautiful Las Vegas style Indian gaming casino that costs $215 million? This surpasses the previous Indian gaming casinos. This is the second generation of glam fun.

Good thing Phoenix Greyhound Park is closing since it’s in the ghetto and nobody would want to go to a racino there anyway when they can go here.

More, more beautiful, high tech, entertainment-oriented Indian gaming casinos. This one has a 5-AAA diamond restaurant too. Bring it on!

No more greyhound racing dog tracks. Close their doors forever. No new predatory gambling racinos in Ariz. At these slick and shiny Indian gaming casinos, no 4-legged animals ever die in the name of sport or greed.

Kill Phoenix and Tucson greyhound racing and racinos in their tracks. Support the Indian gaming casinos.  

Racinos will prop up the dying industry of greyhound racing; dog tracks are closing all over the United States. 

 Write or call your AZ legislators and tell them more racinos would mean more greyhound racing and more greyhound racing means more Ariz. racing greyhounds will be injured and die. There’s been enough greyhound blood in Phoenix and Tucson.

What could’ve caused 4 racing greyhounds to bleed to death at the same dog racing track – Dairyland in Wisconsin? Two other dogs died also.

According to the article, investigators are looking into the raw 4D meat that racing greyhounds are fed. You know meat that comes from dead, diseased, dying, and downer or disabled animals…roadkill and more. And did I say RAW?

At least with regular dog food, this crap gets cooked.

Race dogs dying…always a bad idea. How can the pro-racing factor (which even includes some adoption groups but that’s another blog post) rationalize racing greyhounds bleeding to death like they do with every other horror story? They can’t. They might try. But they can’t.

This is on the eve of possibly Dairyland closing forever.  It’s losing money, millions of dollars. I see no reason to keep it open after dogs are bleeding to death and breaking their legs. Yep, no reason at all.

Some of you may remember that almost a year ago, the good citizens of South Tucson voted to enact the Tucson Dog Protection Act.

It’s been a year and in this most recent article in the Tucson Weekly, the Tucson dog track is not playing by the rules or the will of the voters.

Does that surprise you?

It doesn’t surprise me.

Read the article, as usual the culprits rebel in arrogance and lack of accountability.

24 is too many. Find out more about how you can take action.

This is all good news.

Old people who are drawn to the cruel sport of greyhound racing are diminishing in numbers and the generation that grew up watching Animal Planet are hip to the cruelty of greyhound racing.
