Thread: Greyhound Racing

Yo Dawg

I worked at a Greyhound racing stable when I was 16, and have loved them ever since - when I get old and fat I'm going to buy a biiiig sofa and sit on it with a bunch of greyhounds. The worlds fastest couch potatoes, greyhounds are.

They do get injured a lot though, as they are bred for extreme speed so everything not necessary to run fast is removed (including smarts. Greyhounds are about as dumb as a dog can be and still breath unassisted) and there isn't a lot of money in a 2 year old GH that can't race.

P.s. I think there is a fair amount of truth in 7mmWSM's comment about this being the thin end of the wedge - and I know there are folks who are determined to end all forms of "animal exploitation". No farming, no need for farm dogs. Simple really.
