Shit elements is being rather polite to some elements involved, but get involved with any greyhound rescue and better laws and regulations would go a long way to ensuring the dogs are looked after damn well.
I would love to see the Greyhounds as just another breed that people have as pets, good to see we agree on breeders and the terrible parts of that industry as well.
If you ever come over go to the South of England 'hound' show at Hickstead, you will see hundreds and hundreds of show Greyhounds, they are breed with much deeper chests, so look slightly different.
Have you ever been around Greyhounds that have only ever been pets from puppies, they have not been institutionalised by being kennelled nearly all day and night and had their prey drives massively tweaked, in my experience they are just like most other pet dogs, all with some breed traits and all have different personalities.
Still I only responded due to your early comment on this thread that people that oppose Greyhound racing know nothing about Greyhounds, and wanted to balance that opinion. One of the reasons I rarely post on this board anymore, is due to its support of the Greyhound owing consortium, I have never said that the whole industry is evil, but I have seen enough of it and its poor treatment of a lovely breed of dog, that I would happily like to see the end off it, or at the least made to follow stricter regulations, starting with the breeding of and rehoming of all the dogs.
What did you think of the Panorama programme from last year by the way, its is raising this very question about its regulation (governing body all a bit FIFA esque at the moment).
