Default Dog Racing

(Parts of this may make some people mad) I feel sorry for all parties involved. I can't imagine seeing one of my babies killed like that & I understand the people who think the owners of the Grey Hounds should pay the consequences but...the people to blame are the breeders & trainers who brought these dogs into the world to chase a small animal shaped target for a reward so they could make money. From the minute racing dogs are born they start training to chase...catch...get a prize. They saw the "target" & thought if I catch this & take it to mom she will hug me & give me treats, how many treats would our babies get if they brought us a dead rat? It is just like pits, rotties, german shepards, etc - people breed dogs to do something and when they mess up & get the "wrong" target people want them destroyed. Think about this - some teenagers came into my backyard and killed my Staffordshire Bull Terrier should I ask the police if I can have the teenagers put down?
