Horrifying News for Greyhounds

It is with utter devastation that I must report that Greyhounds in Miami-Dade are doomed. Due to the passage of Question #3, thanks to a $5 million campaign by the bloodsport industry, slot machines will be added to the tracks, thereby propping up a dying industry.

The losers, of course, are the dogs.

With this development (and one in Broward from 2005), it will be very, very difficult to work toward the abolition of Greyhound racing in South Florida. Check out "Second Time's the Charm for Miami Dade Slot Machines," by Mike Clary, who at no point mentions the effect on Greyhounds.
