   Are such animal racings still legal ? It’s such a sad thing to use Dog’s for money !

      Horribly, yes. Are they illegal in India?

         I checked it out, it is not illegal but multiple petitions have been filed against this. The last data on these races was in 2011, so I do hope things have gone better.

   I have always wanted a rescue greyhound. We live close to the greyhound racetrack and I would love to help one out. Sad…no fenced in backyard…YET!! And the chase everything..

      From what I was reading in my research for this post, I think it depends on the individual personality of each dog, whether they chase everything. And their age I expect. Apparently they like to sleep a lot. Maybe, when you’ve got your fence up, it might be worth making enquiries? 🙂

         I hope to have a fence the middle of summer. Already looking into rescues in Memphis. I have done a good bit of research so want to be prepared!!

   Years ago I frequented dog tracks in Miami. Too many of us know very little about the behind the scene dog racing industry. I do know there are some greyhound adoption agencies and they make good natured pets.

      There is so much that people wouldn’t pay into if they knew the whole truth. A useful rule of thumb seems to be: if they’re using animals for profit, chances are the animals are getting a raw deal.

   A former neighbor of mine used to save greyhounds that used to be racing dogs. And these were really cute and loveable animals, it’s horrible how they are exploited!
