I think that the Sanford Orlando dog track in Bogie Shooters link is also a little over an hour from TV.

Dog racing, especially for greyhounds, is very dangerous for the dogs. There are numerous grayhound rescue groups that rehome these beautiful dogs. Dogs don't normally "race" on their own. This is a human intervention that is inhumane.

Dog racing to me is almost as cruel as dog fighting. Dogs are not meant to race. Greyhounds are a very nervous breed to begin with, and the stress of racing is terrible.

My friend Adopted a greyhound from the track. The dog had several broken toes. He had been kept in a cage since birth and only let out to race. I agree that dog racing is inhumane.

I agree that it is inhumane. I put it up there with bull fighting and the circus. Will we ever learn that animals weren't put on this earth to entertain us. It's sad.

I am do not eat any meat because it is inhumane the way we raise and kill animals. We would all be healthier if we all did not eat meat and this would help reduce medicare costs and help balance the budget.
