Ask yourself…
How can…
- greyhounds “confined to crates 23 hours a day” run 45 mph on a track?
- a greyhound die “every three days” when the injury rate in racing is 0.3%?
- “thousands of dogs be thrown away” when the adoption rate for greyhounds is 95%-98%?
- greyhounds be “abused and neglected” when they quickly become wonderful pets in homes?
If this proposed Amendment is focused on greyhound welfare, why does it...
- allow casinos to close tracks on 12/31/18 rather than mandating closure in 2 years as purported?
- commit nothing towards placing 8K-10K greyhounds in homes?
- place greyhounds in overcrowded, high kill animal shelters?
- ban wagering on live racing yet allows wagering on greyhound races from other states?
Do you know that...
- greyhound racing contributed >$96 million into the Florida State School Trust Fund?
- HSUS, ASPCA, Grey2K and PETA raised over $300 million last year and gave less than 1% to animal rescue groups?
- passage of 13 allows expansion of casinos in FL without voter consent?
- passage of 13 opens the state up to $500 million in lawsuits for inverse condemnation.
To date, 85 greyhound adoption groups in the US & Canada, comprised of thousands of volunteers who love the breed, support racing. They KNOW the dogs are treated right.
Amendment 13 is a poor bet for Florida taxpayers & for greyhounds.
