Stop Greyhound racing

The Issue

Greyhound racing is an inhumane form of entertainment. It is animal abuse and hundreds of Greyhounds are killed due to racing retirement and are not adopted. During their racing they are subject to multiple injuries and medical procedures that wouldn't happen if they were not forced to race. These races are munipulated so that the people who bet money on these dogs can win. They do this by depriving the dogs of certain nutrition and or giving them sickening foods to slow them down. This needs to be stopped and it can only be stopped by shutting down these race tracks.
