How much is this video then...I'm pretty sure that many are also treated with care.Animal athleticism should be admired for what it is.Would love to catch a race someday.But i would never bet to promote the 'sport'
The future seems much better for the greyhound with adoption groups doing a lot to get the dogs re homed(too bad there's none in sg...ill definitely have at least 2 a brindle and black)
FAST FACTs
- greyhound's career will end by the time its is 4-6 years of age(though they re younger ones 2-3 years being put up for adoption,probably due to injury)
- Theres a large number of dogs involved in greyhound racing and so sadly only a handful are kept as family pets after retirement
- Race tracks have now established their own adoption programs at various tracks
- In the UK the dogs are not kept at the tracks but are located at kennels of private individuals(trainers)
- Mainly in the Scandinavian states greyhound racing is carried out by the owners of the dogs without financial interest(truly admiring animal athleticism for what it is!!)
