All of this is why I'm entirely sceptical whenever I hear a 'business man' say "I love my animals".......sure you do is my response.

Arizona 40th State to Ban Dog Racing

Good news here.

We thought it might never happen… but it has. For years, greyhounds have suffered and died at Tucson Greyhound Park, Arizona’s last dog track. It was in 1939 that the Grand Canyon State became one of the first to legalize greyhound racing. Five tracks were built and operated over the years, but only “TGP” remained.

Things were so bad there. Greyhounds were left to languish inside barren warehouse-style kennels. Many wore muzzles, a kind of double caging.

The poor dogs had limited access to water and subsisted on a diet of raw, diseased meat. There were no toys for them and no play. What a terrible life!

Such wonderful news! Thanks for sharing it Seabreeze. Nice news to start the day with.

GOOD!!!

New Mexico has several groups that rescue retired or rejected greyhounds from AZ racetracks and brings them her and finds them homes, so I know several wonderful greyhounds.
