Hounds Home For The Holiday

Another year draws to a close and along with it a decade, the best of which can be said about is that it didn't live up to expectations. This was especially true for the overlords, who saw their empire shrink even more.

And 2010 doesn't look like it's going to be much better.
It appears the state is ready to outlaw greyhound racing. House Bill 630 which essentially reauthorizes horse racing in the state but writes greyhound racing out of existing statutes, is expected to be passed by the House, perhaps as soon as its first 2010 session next Wednesday.
Well, it's like our old daddy used to say, into everyone's life a little rain must fall. Just ask Noah.

Noah at least had the lord to give him the heads up reality wise speaking though. The overlords, ah, not so much.
Last month there were 11 races each night of racing at TUCSON GREYHOUND PARK now there is 15 and 16 races are scheduled for 1/01/10.
Yessiree, nothing smells more like success than giving people more of what they don't want, right Kristi?

Kristi is another refugee from Dairlyland who has just landed in the area. We don't know much about her except that she seems to have more sense than the overlords because she got out when the getting was good. For more information about this dog, and other rescued racing greyhounds looking for homes, go here. If you don't know about the plight of racing greyhounds go here.

When there are more than 500 injuries that are recorded in Arizona, let's pretend that is all of them.
Of course, we , as the educated and against Greyhound Racing, know this to be utterly false as people like DALE CHILDS are hired to assume veterinarian duties when they, like DALE CHILDS, non-educated herself, says a dog is hurt or not.
Of course, they, the "pretenders" (to care), euthanize them for anything and all the time.
So, when we say the injuries in Arizona were calculated to be around 500, let's all doubt that.
But when we say no-one wants Greyhound Racing but those that CAUSE these injuries, this, you can be certain, is true.

"Injuries"? Why? Particularly when we all know that it is "touch and go" for every single hound that is "puppy-milled" out and most, without a name or even number.
Is this supposed to be "the crowd" of people who "cares"?
No matter how many times they say "God put Greyhounds here to be abused" only the Greyhound Racing Industry demands you believe it.

We all know the Greyhound "business" is COLD, CALCULATING, and OBSCENE.
The very fact DONNA, the GREYHOUND LIST OWNER for one of the Greyhound Blogs, FORBIDS talking about Greyhound Racing "baddies" is surely PROOF enough that a real dirty handling of these hounds goes way below the gambling regimes counters.
What is even more disturbing is all "the MEMBERS" of this Greyhound List DONNA "SUPERVISES" say absolutely nothing to try and save the Greyhounds from their peril and eventual executions.
Yes. This is indeed a very violent "sport".
And this GREYHOUND LIST OWNER, DONNA, looks to be merely covering up for ORGANIZED CRIME.

I have been a Member of the GREYHOUND LIST that DONNA owns for years! I have yet to see her verbally support a hound that was broken or was executed because of these tortuous tracks.
Due to that alone, one must ask what does DONNA get for her "silence"?
WHAT IS DONNA'S REWARD?
Finally, why does DONNA even have this Greyhound LIst if she obviously supports all these "injuries" and "executions"?

There have been at least a dozen people humiliated by the likes of "Mr. Alabama" for going against Greyhound Racing while this powerful Southerner would sing his praises of being "Neutral".
We all know "Neutral" does not exist, here, on this sketchy Greyhound Forum.
And we all know, to be on this Greyhound List that DONNA does own you have to be "Neutral" about Greyhounds' fates.
This means, in fact, that on this List that DONNA does own, the Members are totally PRO-RACING. Otherwise, they would not be so inclined to be selling all their very cheap wares, and at the expense of every single Greyhound, dead, paralyzed or crippled.

Donna, the owner of that Greyhound List had to be intimidated like so many others who have talked about it offline and with great fear and huge harassing.
But the fact remains, Donna did choose the side of the Race Tracks, due to the very reason Members were forced to:
" Shut the Fuck Up".
And Donna had no qualms to enforce it.

Me and a few others have been lurkers on that Greyhound List for more than three years. I can tell you that Donna is not ill-educated and is , in fact, well-schooled with many university degrees.
What one can surmise is that she is surely being intimidated by the more powerful people in the Greyhound circles and because of that her agenda must be what it is.
"No talking", is Donna's rule for a reason.
She l, ike so many others ,is being "regulated" by the likes of sleazy criminals such as Martin Roper.

Martin Roper is a nobody and all his blogs prove it.
Who is "somebody" is Earl Ray Tomblin and his crime-addicted "Daddy". And the two, combined , common thugs , rule with plenty of guns and ammo. And we have more than enough "rats" telling us all that.

With the Nigerian "Underpants Bomber", there is no question that spark plugs shoved into Greyhounds is
"a goal".
"Global" thought they were so clever.
