Massachusetts Voters Ban Greyhound Racing

With Massachusetts voters finally passing a law to ban the Greyhound racing they will have to close two dog tracks in 2010.

Christine Dorchak of the Committee to Protect Dogs said: Voters looked at the facts. They made a judgment based on the tracks' own information and decided we in Massachusetts could no longer tolerate an industry that causes thousands of dogs to suffer every day.

The general manager of the Raynham Greyhound Park in Raynham Gary Temple said: I feel so sorry for these over 1,000 people who are going to be losing their jobs in an economy that can't see another 1,000 people unemployed.

OK we know that jobs will be lost, but the dogs have suffered long enough just so some one can make a buck off these poor dogs. So we say Thanks to the voters in Mass. for caring about our buddies.
