@@helenmelon6780 my brother works as a vet in LA, in the last 25 years he has had ony 1 greyhound through his doors. Since racing was banned in California greyhounds have become a rare sight in the state. The reasons greyhounds make great pets is because of the racing industry not in spite of it. I know of a dog that had a very expensive repair done to a broken leg all paid for by the trainer and adopted out! Dogs are graded so all dogs get a chance to race or are adopted as pets. I know this because I see it first hand here in England!
If the industry was run properly these things wouldn't happen the tracks and bookmakers should have to pay for the rehoming as without the dogs they have nothing and I know first hand all my dogs loved racing and to this day when the van starts there up of the beds barking telling me I've forgotten them. These people who mistreat these amazing animals are not dog men there scum but dont tar all greyhound people with the same brush and vent your anger at the people who profit not those who spend hours and looking after and making sure these dogs have wonderful lives
I adopted my rescue Greyhound Robert 7 months ago. He is the most gentle, loving animal I have ever met. He is a survivor of this horrific industry, and we will fight and campaign to see it banned. When you mix animals with money, welfare goes out the window. There is no excuse for animal abuse.
I own a whippet, the amount of scumbags who've tried to buy her off me for hunting or field racing disgusts me. I grew up with her she's basically my sister, and the fact some sight hounds don't get that life and spend all their time locked away in kennels brakes my heart
I had the same issue with our lurcher as she looked more like her greyhound half than her staffie half. Myself and other members of my family would be approached by creeps when taking her out for a walk and begging to buy her for racing and breeding. She passed away last year at the age of 16. We've recently rehomed an ex-racing greyhound a few months ago he is such a gentle soul
My dog is the same breed she was rescued from Spain and was abused her whole life and doesn’t know how to play she loves being cuddled and is very very clingy, I don’t understand why people are still immensely cruel to this day, I ask that we consider animals as our self’s life’s are the same no matter what you are, how small how big, or what shape you are. Choose to treat people and animals the same.
It’s not just China, or the dog meat trade, or the racing industry. It’s people, humans, that are the problem. We will always be the problem and it’ll never change. We can try to help those hurting but it’ll always just be a drop in the ocean. It’d make you depressed if you thought about it properly or knew all the awful things humans do to both animals and other humans.
Waited for the return of the dog collar…………….this part says it all ! How can you sleep at night ? We own the Canine species so much through all the ages but many of our species have totally blocked that out of their system. It was not a easy watch but I only had to watch and didn't have to undergo all the pain and stress. Can only hope that more eyes will be open and that this Greyhound Industry will be banded.

@@DobermannKeeper if you ban greyhound racing and coursing how many dogs are redundant overnight? The shelters are full to capacity. I do support some reforms such as mandatory drug tests before a race. And a ban on the export of greyhounds to China.

The purebred dogs are for sure at stake not only because of less genetic diversity and poor breeding management but now in these days through the so called Pandemic. This False Flag event will not only have a destructive consequence for our species but just mention one other aspect and that are beloved dogs.

In the USA it’s been banned in all but six states high time its banned here in uk and also Ireland, as can’t imagine its ran much different here in uk, wild animals in circuses already going to banned they abuse but don’t kill their animals, so if an industry kills thousands of animals for entertainment it should also definitely be banned
I use to be anti but my daughter works for a trainer and i own 2 ex racers myself. I know several trainers here in England and the dogs are looked after better than you or I.
@@hatz5125 What is not ok is these anti racing lobbyists asking for donations to help them ban racing and get dogs adopted when they are pocketing the money themselves and doing sod all to help the greyhound!!! I see racing kennels every week in England so I have first hand experience and I can tell you the dogs are incredibly well cared for! They banned racing in Florida using lies! These anti racing lobbyists are killing the breed and I for one will not let these anti racing folk decimate the beautiful greyhound. If you kill racing then you are killing the breed, its cause and effect! I have seen mistreatment but only after being homed the same as most dogs that end up being abused. You need to look at the private dog owner who is responsible for cruelty. Greyhounds do not need help its breeds like the staffordshire bull terrier that need help!
@Talltree You are talking out of your rectum. The racing industry produces amazing pets. If greyhounds were treated badly they would not make such good pets. Trainers work with the greyhound trust and many are adopted while they are still racing. Racing does all the hard work and produces great pedigree pets for us to own. Cocaine? your statement is laughable as you obviously have no idea how rigorous and strict drug testing is. The trainer I know only feeds his dogs organic beef because regular meat has traces of growth hormone in it that drug testing will show up! You honestly have no understanding of greyhound racing. When and which racing kennels have you been too, if any?
It's one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen, yes greyhounds love to run but to make it into this just isn't right they'd much rather have a play in the park and a run with there doggy friends.
Jesus, somebody needs to shut down China, there is nothing good coming from there...how can you cook a DOG alive😥😥😥 ? I know there is Abuse all over the World, but this is extremly sick...i did adopt a two year old Grey dumped in Ireland recently and i truly want another one...such lovely and gentle Companions....
This is sickening on a level equal to about the worst things I’ve ever researched. Almost unwatchable. What does it say of our whole societies if this is how we treat our most loyal companions - dogs and horses, not to mention factory farmed animals in general. Might I add that across Europe the horse and hound were considered for all our history as the two most sacred animals. That these individuals, who abuse these animals are not punished and publicly outcast for their heinous and disgusting crimes really says it all. This is not a functioning society OR system of law.
This is so disgusting I feel sick and so upset and angry and that why I wrote a song about all of this on my channel if you want to have a listen this is something I feel so strong about.These beautiful amazing animals are being abused because there not fast enough for these disgusting humans beings that shouldn’t be alive.These poor animals need help and we need to stop this abuse of these incredible animals

If you saw neglect tell me about it and report it to the GBGB. I have seen racing kennels and I saw very healthy happy well looked after dogs.
@@helenmelon6780 Yes I have seen ones that did not make the grade and homes were found and even the trainer themselves sometimes adopt the ones that do not want to run. The ones that get injured get repaired not put down. Bear this in mind my greyhound had more injuries in his 2 years of retirement so far than he ever did in 2 and half years on the track. Greyhounds have enough laws and regulations protecting them but its other dog breeds that need help. Look at the staffy if you want a cause go and help this dog as its the number 1 in the shelter list. I use to be anti-racing myself but I saw the real truth. In England racing greyhounds is not a cruel sport. The dogs love it! I am speaking from first hand experience.
*I know this is the bad part, but to the people who think grey hound racing is all bad : It's actually really good for the dogs if you treat them good. Provide great places to stay and a great live from being born to the old age death*

Funny how greyhounds are not the number 1 breed found in animal shelters that belongs to the staffordshire bull terrier, rottweilers, dobermans and even Jack Russels are more plentiful in shelters than greyhounds. Greyhounds are down in 8th position! So where is the over breeding? If you care for dogs look at irresponsible owners and other dog breeds, the greyhound has enough regulation and people looking out for them within the racing industry.
I get that some people look after there greyhounds but very few it’s right infront of our eyes how these beautiful animals are getting abused and how these disgusting humans are treating them and there is many other dogs that are not looked after and are overbred but greyhounds are abused because there not fast enough for these races which is just disgusting
