10,000 Greyhounds Slaughtered
Folks, if you don't already know, I have two greyhounds. They are calm and sweet and the ultimate couch potatoes. I am a couch potato, too, but I am nowhere near calm and sweet.
I hate the greyhound racing industry, and believe me—it's an industry. It's not about the dogs but about the money.
