There is nothing quite as sick as someone who is an abuser of a human or an innocent animal. Unfortunately, there are some people (and I use that term loosely) out there who do abuse animals - even sweet, lovable greyhound dogs. Greyhound abuse is a serious matter and if you detect someone is abusing them, you’d be wise to report it.
Sometimes greyhound abuse can be difficult to detect, especially if they are racing dogs at a track and you are just a spectator. However, if you have any affiliation with a dog track, you should be able to investigate greyhound abuse. The majority of owners and trainers that do love their dogs will support you in this matter because they are not all bad. Unfortunately, there are those that do.
According to Greyhounds.com, many of these wonderful greyhound racing dogs have been abused and mistreated. One track in Alabama gave 40 greyhounds away for medical experimentation. When the greyhounds were found, only 20 percent had survived - that’s only 8 dogs! If you think that is bad, there are many many more cases just like this one that show abuse and neglect of the animal. In another case a group of greyhounds were deprived of food and water. By the time a medical team could see them, one was near death via kidney failure. All of these dogs were 20 to 25 pounds underweight and were starving to death. Such cruelty should most definitely be procecuted. It is a fact that greyhounds have the lowest life expectancy amongst any other breed of dog, and this is not because of natural causes!
Greyhounds are loving, affectionate dogs who do not deserve this kind of treatment so take a stand. You can sign the petition feature in the left sidebar to stop abuse and cruelty to these loving animals. No more dogs need to die, so help make sure they don’t.
