Yes you bleat on about it happening all over – just tell me why you give PETA such a hard time but thing the greyhound industry is so wonderful for doing it?
Do the Greyhound industry pretend to be angels? Do they then kill dogs for no reason, I could give you a list of why I don't like PeTA.

No they don't but I was answering this.
Of course some people have to give up their dogs for various reasons but most do not buy them or breed them knowing damn well they will be put into recue at pretty much best – do they? Certainly most have not used them to make money and put them into rescue when they get too old to do so, or maybe in your vast experience most pet owners do?

You should work in the media
I said this,
instead of keep using this as the main argument, well you should look more at people who don't rehome their dogs, and look at why some of them are being pts,
notice
main argument did I tell you to stop using it, God someone needs to learn to read things properly.

Would you rather them dogs live out there lives in kennels? I think that if a dog had a chance at a home where it can live in a home, and get more attention (and I'm talking from places with loads of Greyhounds) as there will be less other dogs who need looking after surely this is better for them?

Because just because no one wants them there its not so easy to get rid of them.

I can tell you now that if I see anything that is anything to do with cruelty I would not sit back and do nothing, I would do all in my power to act on it. And I would more then likely find the same sort of things as you do as cruel.

You didn't see the play on the word 'tail' then, but like I admit that there is things in the industry that should not be there, do you admit that there is people involved in the industry that really do care for their dogs and love and care for them as people love their pets?
