Greyhound Racing

Greyhounds are strong, healthy dogs. They are very active and need a ton of attention. But people take advantage of their passion to run and turn it into a way for people to make money. Greyhound racing is not okay, they are forced to run for hours every day. Grey hounds are very sensitive to extreme weather conditions as in below zero weather and scorching hot temperatures. 
There have been 11,700 reports of dead greyhounds because of racing. This is mostly from broken bones, crushed sculls, and more than 3,000 broken legs! Many greyhounds are drugged with cocaine and steroids to make them stronger. Greyhound racing is only illegal in 7 states; Arkansas, Iowa, West Virginia, Alabama, Arizona, and the most popular Florida.

In the 7 states that are legal there are these stadiums; Birmingham, Bluffs Run, Ciliate, Daytona Beach, Derby lane, Ebro, and Flagler. There are many upcoming races that people go to thinking, “This is a great thing to do with the family.” Not knowing they are paying people to kill helpless dogs.
To wrap up, greyhounds are taken advantage of and need to be saved from this cruel sport. These dogs need to have a safe home where they can be loved and not loved for the money they make. You can donate money or your time if you search online, ‘’What can I do to help greyhounds?’’

Thanks for sharing, Sarah. I knew people did this a long time ago, but I had no idea it's still done now!
