Whats wrong with greyhound racing? Like, seriously, its fun, the dogs love it, and they are doing what they were bred for! Some people say to me that I am cruel for racing my greyhounds, but how? They have no idea, cause they have never raced before. You can see how happy the dogs are when they are running, and the only reason people (or I ) keep them in small kennels is because they get really tired, and just prefer to sleep all day.

Um, LIKE

Greyhounds love to get outdoors, and love to interact with people. They don't like being stuffed inside tiny kennels all day. And to me, you sound a bit oblivious to what your dogs actually love.

Are you seriously wanting an answer or are you trolling? Do you just want a reaction out of us? Or are you actually curious? I can't tell.

Like, seriously.. It's not so much the racing itself people have an issue with- even though that's still bad.. It's that typical people who race their dogs, when they're not good enough- or if they're to old or whatever, just kill them. People only have greyhounds for one reason, and if they're not doing what they're 'meant' to be doing, they're of no use to anyone.

Not to mention the amount of greyhounds that are abandoned or put down when they can no longer win/race.

No I am curious. Why do people think greyhound racing is so bad?
I :
- Feed the dogs a mixture of dry food, raw meat and veggies
- They get to run around the track for their exersise every week
- They get to do natural things like raise their own pups, instead of desexing them which is just mean sad
- They have lots of comfy bedding in their kennels

And they love to chase the 'rabbit' around the track, like they were oringally bred for!

Yeah, I wonder why you see so many greyhounds dumped, abandoned or killed. Like.

Desexing animals is NOT "mean". Animals should be desexed, there are millions and millions of dogs and cats and other pets abandoned and left at shelters each year, most of them put down because people don't desex their pets. If you want to be a pet owner you should most definitely neuter your furry friend.
