Dog in a box
Greyhound racing has been banned in Massachusetts. A ballot, aptly named Grey2K SA was passed on November 4, the same time Barack Obama was made president. Coincidence? I dont think so.
As of 2010 you can’t race Greyhounds there. [Doggy Story]
Now the problem will be dusty herds of unemployed greyhounds begging on street corners, living under bridges and lighting fires in empty oil drums.
Meanwhile in California, they passed Propostion 2 which prohibits farms from caging chickens, calves, and pregnant pigs in ways that prevent them from lying down, stretching their appendages, or turning around. But they still can’t get married. California voters also chose to to ban gay marriage so who knows what they are thinking. [Prop 2 wins]
In Australia it is well known that the greyhound industry is filled with people smugglers and heroin dealers who like to lock dogs in little boxes and throw them off cliffs.
We have some way to go.
A happy one!
