This is unfortunate. Come on, NH, get with the program. Greyhound racing is cruel. Any racing is cruel. I have had to care for race horses between races whose legs had to be "fired" to strengthen them as they were weakened by the racing. They were in agony for days...not just during the procedure ( no anesthetic was administered, just a twitch was used on their ears)...bloody awful.
