Subject: RE: BS: Canada Escalates Seal Slaughter Defense
Good point Peace ... I also wonder why Greenpeace does not protest Greyhound racing in the U.S. .... 20k + are put down a year in the U.S. .... this accounts for hounds who average about 3 years of age ... the time they start not making any money, and the're racing carier is finished ... if the mass slaughter of these dogs is not a tragedy, the conidtions on which they are kept is rather horrifying.

Our female rescued greyhound tore her back legament in her 98th race ... she was a big moneymaker ... anyway they kept her in a cage for 2 weeks about 2 weeks without any treatment ... she was a couple of hours from being put down when I came across her ... she's a fine healthy hound now.


I have sent Greenpeace a couple of emails in the past regarding greyhound racing, the only replies I have received are notifications of having received my messages. I betcha if I sent an e-mail regarding the sealhunt they would have replied quickly, even mentioning where and how to send a contribution for their cause.

greyhound racing = gambling
