Would love to hear what you think of the racing done in the States and it recently starting to get outlawed.
Good move for the dogs long term or end of the greyhound as we know it?
Short term I believe the 10k estimated dogs in Florida will suffer greatly.
Long term I also believe the breed will be watered down.
Never experienced anything bad visiting the track for the two years I researched and spoke with Greyhounds As Pets and kennel owners.
But I wasn’t in deep like yourself.
I always saw it as competition breeds health and the kennels have a lot invested in these dogs so they would keep them healthy and taken care of.
But I may be completely wrong and it’s just as bad as Spain/Ireland and I’m over here living in a stupid bliss. Real information is hard to get. Lot of political groups mixed into this.
Dog racing out now, replaced by casinos.
It really pissed me off when they outlawed racing in Florida and didn’t set a plan on what to do with the dogs as part of the bill and don’t know what to think the long term affects would be.
