Just come out of the closet you mole, your an employee of the NGRA. Thats ok, just come clean. You can still have imput, and one does not need to know your name, but to make out you are just an interested party is an insult to the intelligence.
Now the facts are, dog farmers cull there unwanted slow, non chasing greyhounds on a grand scale. You and your employers protect the farmers because they are intimidated by them and the power they hold over the industry, ie, numbers to support race programs. You piss on my leg, and your employers know the exact number bred, but have no real understanding after that as they do not follow up with a real audit or head count. Now I understand that not all dogs are re homeable because of factors like behavioral or mental problems, and some dogs need to be put down, but the vast majority are ok for a new life as pets, but when it comes to the farmers, they get a pass. No yearly head count, no follow up on missing dogs, no prosecutions under your rules for ridding the industry of healthy young surplus greyhounds by the dog farmers. They are a protected species.
