Greyhounds Injured, Killed in West Virginia Dog Races By Brandon Bosworth
Greyhounds are placed at great risk in the state's dog races. Is it okay for dogs to suffer injury and death just so people can watch them run around a track and promoters can make some cash? In West Virginia, apparently so. At just one racetrack more than 3,200 injuries were reported, from the beginning of 2005 to the end of 2010, an average of about 1.4 injuries per day. "In terms of the raw number of injuries, this is the largest we have seen for a single track by far," said Carey Theil. State records confirm that thousands of greyhound injuries have been reported and nearly 200 dogs have died. Track executive and animal exploiter Dan Adkins doesn't really care about any of this. The disgraceful, inhumane practice of dog racing is fully legal in seven U.S. states, it's time for West Virginia to join the 21st century and outlaw dog racing.
