I agree if we start a "pro/anti racing discussion" it would never end. And I do agree with the fact that they are GOOD owners and there are BAD owners....rega rdless of WHAT Breed they own.

That depends on how you look at it. Not all of us think that racing in itself is the problem. Not ALL kennels and kennel operators are horrible people who don't care about the "plight" of the dogs. I know many owners/operators/breeders/trainers of racing greyhounds and the people I know are caring, wonderful people who do a LOT for adoption. It's true that not all racing dog owners are good people, but you really shouldn't make such blanket statements about any breed. There is a larger percent of non GH breeders out there who are much more unscrupulous than racing GH breeders. They just don't get the same amount of publicity.
I know this isn't the place to start a pro/anti racing discussion, so I won't, but I just thought the the other members of this group should be able to hear BOTH sides of it.
Greyhound racing is a harsh, cruel and unecessary industry from any angle. Thousands of years of breeding should never have come to this.
