A stewards eye view

A new survey - the largest of its kind undertaken - offers a disturbing insight into the world of greyhound racing and the set task demanded of these athletes: the racing at speed on tight anti-clockwise tracks. Please view:

I´ve come to the conclusion that the RSPCA are only interested in cases that (a) generate publicity for them, and/or (b) easy targets. Anything a bit complicated (and probably costly and/or policital) they just tinker round the edges and try to look like they´re doing something when in actual fact, they are not. Industries that make money using animals and where the Government/tax man benefits too, would be a bit complicated eg puppy farming, greyhound racing etc.

Agree Jacqui, hopefully more people are becoming aware of their plight ´on and off´ the track, wonder what the rspca are doing about it all .

Another case of animals being used for monetary gain, without any thought or consideration as to their health or welfare. It makes me feel sick.
