Greyhound racing is arguably one of the most exploiting forms of entertainment that we have today. Yet people who go to these tracks oftentimes don´t even realize what they are truly supporting.
Yes, it is certainly no lie that greyhounds love to run. But no animal should have to run for the sole reason that people want to earn money. These dogs live for our entertainment.
They are not well socialized and miss out on so many things that make a dog a dog things like getting to romp and play at a park, or learn a trick or two from their owners, or get out and have some fun exploring. Instead, these beautiful creatures are subjected to confinement and deprivation for most of their lives. And these are the lucky ones.
The puppies that don´t make the cut are killed. They are killed, but why? The answer is simple. These are the puppies that they know won´t be profitable. If an animal isn´t profitable, then they are worthless in their eyes.
What is so different about these dogs than the dogs that people have as pets? If someone were to have a pet dog and do these things to him or her, wouldn´t that be animal cruelty? Why or how can this be justified? It simply can´t.
Watch this video to find out the truth yourself. And please, spread the word. The world is starting to wake up about this. Many states have started banning greyhound racing, and hopefully the rest of the world will follow suit.
