Good News: Greyhound Racing Is Not in Kansas Anymore
Good news ToTo: Greyhound racing’s not in Kansas anymore.
“The Woodlands’ racing license has been revoked by the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission.
The horse and dog track in Kansas City, Kansas, closed since August 2008, will no longer be able to run races at the track unless some future action is taken to apply for the license again.
Licenses also were revoked for Wichita Greyhound Park, and Camptown Park in Frontenac, Kan., a dog track.
Tracks were given until June 28 to get a new plan to the state to reopen.
Earlier, Woodlands officials said they had been weighing options, including selling the racetrack.”
This really is good news because without greyhound racing in Kansas, less dogs are bred for racing. Less dogs are confined in small cages for hours on end. Less are fed raw 4D meat. Less dogs are dosed with steroids and other drugs like cocaine in Florida and Alabama. Less dogs are injured and euthanized. Less dogs disappear like in Tucson. Less tracks are getting tax breaks at the state’s expense. Less money is made through live handle racing and off track betting.
Yes, ToTo, greyhound racing’s not in Kansas anymore and that’s really good news for greyhound advocates — but best of all for the dogs.
And believe it or not, there is some humor in this too. Yes, I know, greyhound racing AND humor rarely go together in the same breath or sentence but here’s an exception.
