Killing field of the dog racing industry

I saw a shorter version of that story on the BBC website, it's quite appalling.

Polo said 'well you knew that about 10,000 of them vanish every year, they had to go somewhere'.

Which is true, but it is still horrible.

It makes me even more glad that I refused to go on the staff trip to the dogs a few years ago, I'd hate to have supported such an evil industry even in a small way.

It does make you wonder what will happen with the dogs now though. Hopefully this will signal the end of the industry, unless it can put in place adequate support for dogs once they reach the end of their racing lives.

Really, really hoping that some of the more thoughtful newspapers will start asking that question.
