I used to love going to the dog track and betting on the greyhounds. That was taken from me and any other fans, groomers, trainers and breeders. With that said, I don’t think horses should be subjected to horse racing either. The dogs were banned, the horses should be banned. It is simply a matter of fairness, and of course the cruelty of strapping leather on a beautiful creature, and forcing to carry a human. Imagine, having your slave master literally riding astride you to make filthy Lucre.....a mild sarcasm alert.... It will never happen, the wealthy love the ponies. Dogs, it is cruelty to teach them to love to run.
Some dogs love to run and will do it whenever they get the chance. Sight hounds will do that to chase anything that moves. They don’t have to be taught it.
That said, it’s unconscionable to take advantage of an animals natural instincts and abuse it for profit, which is what dog racing does.
And the same with any other animal *entertainment.*
