Undercover Investigation Reveals Inhumane Conditions at Greyhound Track

Wednesday, January 5, 2011 - 1:30pm

Shocking undercover video footage recently released by GREY2K USA, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending Greyhound racing nationwide, clearly depicts muzzled greyhounds confined to small, stacked cages in dark rooms for extended periods of time. The video, filmed in August 2010 at Arizona’s Tucson Greyhound Park, also confirms that the dogs are fed meat from diseased animals to reduce costs and are denied proper exercise and human interaction.

The Tucson Dog Protection Act, passed in 2008, mandates that dogs housed at Tucson Greyhound Park be let out of their cages for at least six hours per day and cannot be fed raw, diseased meat. The ASPCA has taken immediate action, demanding that the city of South Tucson ensure compliance with that law.

“As disturbing as this video is, it’s sadly not surprising,” says Ann Church, ASPCA Senior Director of Government Relations. “The footage only underscores what we already know: Greyhounds endure lives of terrible confinement. The ASPCA is grateful to GREY2K USA for capturing these inhumane conditions and raising awareness about the inherent cruelty of dog racing.”

In 2010, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire passed laws prohibiting Greyhound racing, and 25 Greyhound tracks have closed in the U.S. since 2001. The ASPCA urges Arizona legislators to follow suit and outlaw dog racing in their state.

“Greyhound racing is a dying industry nationwide,” says Church. “There is nothing entertaining about dog racing when you know that these animals are suffering.”
