In America, dog tracks are getting shut down left and right for inhumane treatment of the dogs. They usually get turned into sports books. My roommate's Greyhound, JB (Jellybean) is a retired racer. The webbing on his feet is torn in two places, he has arthritis (he's only 6), and he has a detached cornea from a dirt clod hitting him. I toured the kennels at Seminola racetrack in Casselberry, FL and was appalled to see the conditions there. I guess each track has it's own conditions, but overall, I am against racing animals at all. Especially when money is at stake. People have a tendency to do terrible things to animals to make the big payday.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
