Thanks Cher !
I too, like you, I condemn this sport! This is barbaric, cruel and stupid. All these "gainful activity" makes me sick. Dogs, horses, bulls ... all are sacrificed. This is absolutely pathetic. Really immoral.

This has to stop. These poor creatures were not put on this earth for us to use and abuse! Making money from animal torture is not acceptable.

Dog racing is another word for dog exploiting which in itself is a form of abuse and torture.
