Stop Greyhound Racing

The Issue

Greyhound racing forces greyhounds to run around a track chasing a lure
greyhounds often get injured or die while racing
when they aren’t racing they are put in tiny kennels, sometimes stacked on top of each other sometimes for 23 hours at a time- with limited interaction
the cages have a standard size of 32 inches high, 42 inches deep, and 31 inches wide
greyhounds usually spend about 95% of their time confined
greyhounds are often given only shredded paper or old carpet to lay on
greyhounds are often fed “4-D” meat, which is from dying, disabled, dead or diseased livestock- and 45% of it has been found to contain traces of bacteria from Salmonella
in the US, the most common injury for a greyhound is a fractured leg, but many also suffer from puncture wounds, muscle tears, ligament tears, joint dislocation and sprains
in a study, 23% of examined greyhounds suffered from diaphragmatic flutter after a race- a condition that could lead to collapse or sudden death
at 2-3 months old, greyhound puppies in the US are tattooed with their registration number and birthday
thousands of greyhounds in the UK have been killed instead of re-homes because they aren’t fast enough
