Default Greyhound Racing

I am just wondering what people’s opinion of greyhound dog racing is? To me this seems very inhumane and yet the greyhounds that I’ve looked into adopting are so very gentle and tame. I’m wondering if maybe I just have the wrong idea about this “sport.”

yes most greyhounds make good pets. However be careful having them around other small animals such as rabbits and pets. There have been many accidents happen ! Greyhounds can be friedndly to other animals in the house for even a few years and them one day just attack! So yeah they are good pets with kids and people etc but be weary having greyhounds around other small animals as they have a strong prey drive.

I don't agree with that. For me greyhound racing constitutes animal abuse. It could destroy or kill them.
