Remembering Missy, Tucson Greyhound
Three years ago on August 31, 2007, a racing greyhound named Missy was senselessly euthanized at the dog track in South Tucson even though others tried to save her.
This incident illuminates everything that is wrong with greyhound racing: Dogs still die. Dogs break their hocks and legs. Dogs suffer serious injuries. Greyhound welfare is not a priority.
A rally to remember Missy and all the racing greyhounds who have suffered needlessly because of a two-buck-bet happens (happened) August 31 in midtown Tucson in front of an off-track-betting bar on East Speedway a few blocks east of Swan. In case you don’t know, off-track-betting props up the dying sport of dog racing.
Join animal lovers and greyhound adopters as we remember Missy from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
Signs are available or bring your own.
