The track's decision is expected to leave its 42 part-time employees without jobs. "Yeah. We'll have to go someplace else to get minimum wage no benefit jobs," employee Rosalind Kivela said.
So, with all this bad news raining down on the overlords we can assume that because of their astute business senses and clear eyed view of the landscape they are making plans for the post racing future, right Eric Wilson, president of the American Greyhound Track Operators Association?
"The problem is the demographics of our industry are changing," Wilson said. "Young people want a gambling experience that involves computer technology. The industry is going to have to come up with some sort of methodology to incorporate that type of technology into the industry."
Umm...Ok...You mean like robot dogs? Not quite the same thing, but hey, it's your delusion. We'll stick with the flesh and blood versions, like this week's hound, Dangerous Benny G:
Benny is a friendly, happy boy. He loves everything and everyone. He is playful, a bit puppy-like and energetic at times, and he is very affectionate. He is snuggly, with people and other dogs, and he likes to lie at/on the family’s feet. He loves looking at his reflection in mirrors. He enjoys playing with toys and enjoys chewing dog chews.
