re: #272 Blind Frog Belly White

I saw something the other day, “Could Dog Racing in America Go Extinct?”

I realized I have mixed feelings about this. I realize the Greyhound racing industry is not kind to the dogs, and views them only as a means to make money. I know there’s some level of abuse of these beautiful, sweet dogs. But if dog racing disappears, will anyone breed Greyhounds anymore?

Most breeds of dogs aren’t doing the work they were traditionally bred to do. St. Bernards don’t rescue people in the Alps, dachshunds don’t drag badgers out of their dens, malamutes don’t pull sleds. People will still want greyhounds.
