Quick illo of my new greyhound, Beatrix. Please note that for the many greyhounds that are rescued there are many more that are 'expired'. It's a sad state of human affairs when animals are exploited for money , and once they are of no use (can not make any money for their owners) they are gotten rid of. The same is true of the horse racing industry. As long as animals are commodified it will continue, sad to say.
I got Beatrix from the same wonderful rescue organization, Grateful Greyhounds, that rescued my first greyhound, Georgia.
