I have a sighthound and although mine isn’t ex-racer since he’s not a purebred greyhound I know a lot of greyhound adopters whose dogs were found dumped in ditches left to die after getting injured racing, or abandoned because they were too slow, or even with scars from having cigarettes stubbed out on them as a punishment for losing a race. It’s a disgusting industry and it’s shameful that Labour want to act as though it’s something all working class people support. There’s a great documentary by the Irish public broadcaster RTÉ about the industry there but the same principles apply everywhere else. Sighthounds are such sensitive and sweet dogs that are usually far happier sleeping all day than racing.
