Jocularity... Jocularity...

Anyone who is a M.A.S.H. fan will recognize the "jocularity, jocularity" phrase. It is oft attributed to Father Mulcahy, but it was actually Col. Potter imitating the kind Father.  So, what does the quote habe to do with greyhound racing & Grey2K, you ask?  Well, Grey2K is composed of some of the best storytellers that I know.  They are such good story tellers, passing their stories off as imitations of the truth, that it causes me to laugh and say, "Jocularity! Jocularity!"

One of the most recent examples was, and I'm still laughing at this one,
"The FGA has a right to fight for the continuation of dog racing," Theil says. "They do not have the right, however, to simply make things up." (Carey Theil, Executive Director of Grey2K USA Worldwide to Broward Palm Beach News Times).
As if that one isn't hilarious enough, there's this one,
"Since 2009, we have made donations totaling nearly $50,000 to local adoption organizations. We also give adoption referrals, and regularly encourage our supporters to adopt from their local group."
Considering how much nonsense Grey2K propagandizes, the first comment is beyond the realm of ludicrous.  Grey2K's propaganda machine is almost as good as that which Goebbels presided over. I also suspect it is also ruled with the same kind of iron fist.

It is the opinion of many in the greyhound adoption community that the only reason Grey2K makes any donations at all to placement groups is so they can maintain their tax exempt status.  It sure isn't for the benefit of the dogs.  How do we know?  Well, back when MA Prop 2 was being cussed & discussed, Grey2K promised to take care of the displaced greyhounds, if the proposition passed.


Unfortunately for greyhounds and the people associated with them, the Massachusetts voters were duped by Grey2K into believing that greyhounds are horrifically abused. More than 1,000 people lost their jobs with the bill's passage and that was only the people directly involved with the dogs. The ripple effect spread widely with restaurant employees losing their jobs and various businesses closing, many of which were not directly associated with greyhound racing.

Grey2K came in with their smoke & mirrors and when they left, they left all the dogs, saying that it wasn't their problem; that the adoption groups would take care of them.  They didn't even have the decency to donate any monies to those same adoption groups.  There used to be a saying, "beware a Greek bearing gifts". That saying had its origins with the Trojan horse as the Greeks came to Troy and left the Trojan Horse as a "gift". What a gift... lead to the destruction of a people and a culture.  Grey2K USA is a Trojan Horse and it leaves destruction in its wake.

Thank God for the racing people and Linda Jensen, may she rest in peace. They are the folks who took care of the greyhounds until homes could be found for all of them.  They are the heroes; not Grey2K and their allies, all of which are hell bent on the destruction of not only greyhound racing, but ALL human & animal interactions. They are out to ban carriages in city parks, biological parks & zoos, and pet ownership.

I digress...  Regarding the 2014 "58 donations to greyhound adoption orgs... totaling $16,567.33", it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that that amount when split among 58 groups equals each of the 58 groups, if indeed it was 58 groups, getting a grand total of $285.64.  That's very, very generous...  not.

IF it weren't so sad, Theil's comments would be absolutely hilarious.  What a jolly joker, especially as he & his wife rake in thousands of dollars, money that could, quite literally, go to the dogs.  Father Mulcahy's last comment is really quite apropos.  Why are the wicked in Grey2K advanced & strengthened with riches?

Yours in greyhounds....
