Florida Greyhound Tracks
by
Cliff H. Hemmingway
Murals and paintings of greyhounds from 4,000 years ago are similar to today's greyhound, and were held in high regard by ancient Egyptians. Pharaohs so admired the physical attributes and speed of the greyhound that the birth of a greyhound ranked second in importance only to the birth of a son. If you haven't been to a race, you should see why these handsome animals are so honored.

Greyhound Dog's Tale of Woe and Tragedy
by
Kayyne Nynne
Each year more than 100,000 Greyhound dogs are killed! Why? The reason is simple...a cruel sport called dog racing! It truly is hard to imagine how so exalted a dog breed could end up where it is today-slaughtered in the thousands each year. This is all the more shocking when one considers that at some point in the history it was a crime punishable by death to kill one (during the reign of King Canute).

Why Should Greyhound Racing Be Abolished
by
Helen Stevens
Firstly in our opinion no animal should ever be used for human entertainment. Unfortunately not everyone feels like this. Greyhounds are big business for the racing industry, and due to people's greed we have an evil trade in animal abuse and exploitation.

Greyhound Racing Facts
by
John Ratcliffe
At first sight it seemed incredible to me to have to explain why we are opposed to Greyhound racing. The wealth of information on my web site alone should be enough, I thought, to demonstrate to anyone, that it is the cause of a lot of suffering of gentle, loving Greyhounds. The trouble is, however, one always seems to take for granted that the other person knows and has experienced what the writer or speaker has experienced. Unfortunately, or perhaps in this case thankfully, this is not the case.

The Life of the Racing Greyhound
by
Ossie Hickson
Most people think of greyhound racing as as a sport racing dogs. There is little thought about what happens to racing greyhounds as participants or later when their track career is over. Contrary to what you may think, these beautiful dogs are the gentlest most lovable pets you can imagine. Very child friendly as well.

Greyhound Training to Modify Behavior Problems
by
Lea Mullins
If your greyhound has behavior problems, always use firm but kind and consistent methods of training. This is true in the case of any dog, but in greyhounds it is particularly important, since greyhounds, having been bred as sprinters, have light, delicate bones without much soft tissue to protect them.
