[Sidney Lanier]

Thank you, Nonie, for being the first to make a point of the cruelty suffered by greyhounds who are forced to race for the first three or so years of their lives, traumatized by terrible conditions, and then put down or rescued by incredibly patient dog lovers who do indeed spend years nursing and nurturing these sweet dogs to a reasonably healthy life. And thanks too to Hyacinth, Barefoot, and Kathie for reiterating this important point. But one must make one's own choices regarding entertainment....
