At Hollywood Park–Bonnie Brown Eyes, a 2-year-old filly making her second lifetime start in the $32,000 maiden claiming race shattered her right front ankle and died when she broke her neck in the fall.
Horse racing, greyhound racing…let’s put an end to this animal abuse.
R.I.P. Bonnie Brown Eyes
Despicable!
Cruel!
Horrendous!
Do you think greyhound racing is family entertainment? Think again.
Do you think the race dogs are well cared for and treated like 4-legged kings and queens? Think again. Unfortunately, there are some greyhound adoption groups in Arizona who try to brainwash their prospective adopters with this rubbish.
Do you think all greyhounds end up in forever homes? Wishful thinking…

When I buy a greyhound calendar, I like to know that the proceeds are going to something I believe in — ending greyhound racing.
That is why I bought the Grey2K USA calendar.
Not only are the photos beautiful but it’s like a monthly reference of milestones of what is happening in the greyhound racing advocacy world.
For instance, who knew that on June 15, 2006, Gov. Jeb Bush (Florida) vetoed $310,000 in proposed dog track subsidies? (Unlike Gov. Fife Symington (Ariz.) who gave away the store to the dog tracks in mid 1990s.)
And what about this? In July 17, 2004, New Hampshire lawmakers approved Grey2K USA’s bill requiring dog tracks to report on greyhound injuries. What an important bill!
There are greyhound calendars and then there are greyhound calendars that not only portray gorgeous greyhounds but this calendar educates us about the demise in greyhound racing and the progress of Grey2K.
