What chance do the dogs have when the racing club pays for the euthanasia? Some (or perhaps even most?) of these limb injuries would have been curable.
These dogs are worth nothing in the eyes of the industry.
Additionally, the racing groups are gracious enough to provide the dead dogs’ with freezers. As NSW Racing Minister Kevin Anderson claims, are they the “highest animal welfare standards”? The gambling industry has a reliable procedure in place to get rid of these undesired byproducts.
However, the pictures above capture these ten greyhounds’ final moments, frequently in fuzzy, low-resolution video stills, and we’ll never forget them.
A nonprofit organisation called the Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds (CPG) is working to put an end to the cruel sport of greyhound racing. Because of the harshness of the sport, CPG believes that governments in those states should change their greyhound care regulations.
What the hell is wrong with these people those dogs could be treated and live the rest of theirs lives as loved pets
The industry is just showing their gross indifference of these hounds as nothing more than money maker no money then they die
Nothing has changed
