I have to agree with Bridge (shit shit shit) regarding cash activities. Akenaton also makes a fair point regarding betting and tote, although without gambling, would the sport exist?

My concern is, (and I volunteer taking dogs walking with my own rescue greyhound at a local sanctuary, and see the traumatised state of some they get, the treatment of dogs.

There are some good people breeding and training. There are some not so good as the link McMusket gave shows. There does need to be a full and proper investigation into the more seedy world. Official investigation, not journalism or self regulating but a question about breeding dogs for sport if the sport can deliver what we saw in the harrowing link in the op.

I have had my little boy four years and still, two scars won't fur over, he is timid, scared easily and only recently has come to fully trust my wife and I. We love the farting bugger, but he has trouble loving back. Isn't that so so fucking sad?
