Just because you’re an exception to the norm in the industry doesn’t mean it’s a good industry. Similarly, just because you’re ignorant of the bad apples within the business, willfully or otherwise, doesn’t give you the right to accuse others of your same level of awareness.

So, Karen.. you answered your own previously published question as to how many greyhounds can be transported together in a single “crate.” All those regulations look pretty fine to me. Accidents are called accidents for a reason. Happens all the time. It happens to lovely pet people and even “rescuers.”

Marta…my racers are watched and cared for by professionals, they are exercised daily, have massages, love their trainers, get care packages from me filled with treats and toys. They are the first thing I think of in the morning. I get photos every month. I plan my trips so I can visit them and when they are done, they come home to me. Frankly, my racers both on the track and retired have a better life than 95% of the pet homes out there. Please don’t show your ignorance with something you know nothing about.

greyhound racing treats greyhounds as objects and the sooner it all ends, so much the better. Humans show their stupidity and their callousness so much and when it comes to fellow creatures it really is astounding.
