OUTLAW Greyhound Racing in all 50 states! - The Petition Site: "This petitions purpose is to outlaw greyhound racing in the other 43 states. Greyhounds are bread in large quantities and at anytime in their life if they appear to not be good enough to race they are euthanized. The GRAA (greyhound racin association of america) urges governers, and othre government officials to keep greyhound racing in progress. In 2003 alone, an estimated 7,500 to 20,000 greyhounds were euthanized simply because they couldn't run fast enough.

It's is an industry that exists solely for the entertainment of humans%u2014at the cost of animal lives.
Because greyhound racing has little to do with dogs and everything to do with money, scant regard is given to the humane treatment of the greyhounds. In addition, greyhounds are very vulnerable to injury. According to Theil, thousands of racing dogs are injured each year nationwide. The most common miseries are bone fractures and soft tissue injuries. Less common afflictions include spinal injuries, seizures, and death from cardiac arrest.
