Stop Greyhound Racing in Its Tracks
Today at tracks across America, dogs are suffering needlessly for the cruel "sport" of Greyhound racing.
• Greyhound breeders greatly overbreed, and many puppies never make it to a racing career. The unwanted pups, those who don't measure up to racing standards, are simply destroyed.

• At each track, approximately 1,000 dogs live in cramped conditions at any given time. They live in cages so small that a larger Greyhound can't even stand up.

• Dogs stay in their cages for up to 23 hours a day. At some tracks, lights are left on all day and night in the Greyhounds' kennel.

• At some tracks, Greyhounds are forced to wear their racing muzzles at all times—even when they eat and sleep—because it's just too much work to take them off and put them on again.

• Dogs are sometimes fed performance enhancing drugs, even including cocaine and steroids.

• Thousands of dogs are hurt each year at racetracks, and many are subsequently euthanized. Others are killed racing. These casualties of racing often go unreported.

• Racing dogs eat 4D meat—meat that has been deemed unfit for human consumption.

• Greyhounds often don't get the veterinary care they need and often suffer from infections and parasites.

• Dogs are forced to run on the hottest and coldest days of the year.

• When the industry has deemed Greyhounds no longer fit to race, usually before the age of six, they face an uncertain fate. While some are retired and sent to rescue groups, others are simply killed or returned to breeding facilities to serve as breeding stock.
Americans won't stand for this kind of abuse of dogs, and the ASPCA is working every day to stop it. Please consider giving to the ASPCA today—we combat animal suffering in all its forms across America. Thank you for standing up for animal cruelty victims!
