Greyhound racing has been banned for the last 70 years in South Africa. It was banned for a very good reason, absolute cruelty inflicted upon these poor dogs. They suffer broken backs, broken limbs, no skin padding left on their paws, they are doped with all sorts of drugs, so they can win ar any price. They are confined to small cages until they race, and hen they are no use to the owner any more , they are left to fend for themselves, because done owners are poor, and have no money to care for there dogs, they can not be rehomed with other breeds, as they are taught to chaseamy moving target
The massive surge of support proves that South Africa will not tolerate the return of this sick, bloodthirsty industry. These cruel track owners are feeling the heat and realize we are watching their every move.

I agree that greyhound racing should be banned or, at least, more well-regulated, but actually greyhounds can make great companions and can, sometimes, be rehomed with other animals, or so I think...

Keep this garbage out of SA. We have enough problems without adding animal cruelty to the list.

My heart breaks for these dogs. People are so selfish to treat animals this way just for a quick buck.
