Greyhound Update

(Winter 2001)—

(Winter 2001) — Supportive phone calls and letters flooded the NEAVS office in response to an educational ad placed shortly before votes were cast on November 7, 2000 to decide the fate of greyhounds in Massachusetts.

NEAVS' large-scale effort to increase public awareness of the cruelties experienced by racing greyhounds was instrumental in getting people to understand the true price the racing industry exacts from these gentle, trusting dogs. The public really needs to think hard about the cost to these animals both on and off the track. Many people seldom stop to consider that these dogs can live far beyond their racing days and that the cruelties they experience are by no means isolated within the industry itself.

The fact that Ballot Question 3 was narrowly defeated 51% to 49% (see cover story), indicates a strong and growing number of citizens who are ready to stop a business that also feeds the deep-pocketed vivisection industry while treating animals as disposable commodities.
