They say that dogs are a man’s best friend, but did you know that like people, some dogs retire, because running around a circular track chasing a rabbit all day can be very tiring for a Greyhound.
But what do you do with a retired Greyhound? Does anyone want them?
The Greyhound Adoption Program of South Australia (GAP) is a non-profit organisation who dedicates their time and effort to finding homes for greyhounds whose racing careers have ended.
GAP’s hopes that once a greyhound has run its last race, they are able to go home with loving families. Othewise they are destroyed.
Tim Brunero spoke to Angela, Jane, and Billy (the Greyhound) – all in the studio – to find out about adopting a Greyhound.
The intention of this is very honorable, but don’t think for a moment that it is a solution. The greyhound racing industry breeds far many more greyhounds than it is capable of or cares to rehome. GAP is never going to be able to make this industry ethical. The greyhound racing industry is a killing machine. Please patrons and sponsors, don’t support an industry that sees alomst 20,000 Aussie greyhounds go missing every year, just so degenerate gamblers can be entertained.
