Dogs play an important role in our lives

Dogs play an important role in our lives, and deserve to be protected from individuals and industries that would do them harm. Dog racing is cruel and inhumane. While at the racetrack, dogs are confined in small cages barely large enough for them to stand up or turn around for long hours each day.




There are two race tracks that have greyhound racing in Massachusetts - Wonderland and the Raynham Greyhound Park. In 2001, a law was passed which mandated the reporting of injuries at the tracks. According to state records, more than 800 dogs have been injured while racing in Massachusetts. Nearly 80% of these injuries involved broken legs. Other reported injuries include paralysis, death from cardiac arrest and a broken neck.
