Good News: Greyhound Racing Ends in Mass. 12-26-09
Posted on December 26th, 2009 by NoMoreRacing
I didn’t get what I wanted on Christmas but a wonderful thing happens today — greyhound racing ends in Mass.
Oh, happy day. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
That means less greyhounds will be bred and overbred. Less greyhounds will be injured and euthanized.
Almost 900 greyhounds were seriously injured while racing in Massachusetts since 2002.
Read the article and rejoice.
Who’s next?
Great news! Let’s hope that 2010 will see the demise of more tracks.
The article says Massachusetts has some of the best animal over sight. If that is the case why did 9 dogs break their legs in May 2008?

It’s all irrelevant now but just a point that needed to be made.
