How ...IM...I think you once said you were a lawyer. <BR/>How about the victimization of the vulnerable such as animals, kids and women.<BR/>This year alone, more than 54,000 women went missing in USA. There are more than 1,000 murdered women, probably by their partners, every year.<BR/>If you put two and two together, men look at women, and living creatures as "property". Whether it is cultural, habit or ignorance, it's going to take tough laws to prevent further abuse and violence.<BR/>Getting used to "civility" is a difficult scenario, and only laws will force the issue.<BR/>Hence: only the banning of all tracks will do. Let's hope Obama puts infrastructure on his agenda and fast. That and opportunities for the poor and the ambitious. Education and real work is the only way out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10010614.post-77564859865531741062008-11-14T16:33:00.000-05:002008-11-14T16:33:00.000-05:00Hey divagirl, We're easy.

"Informer" is a gorgeous dog! That kind of f...Wow. "Informer" is a gorgeous dog! That kind of face talks to you even without the "purr'!<BR/>Can anyone answer to the howl of these caged canines trapped into the life of constant shuffling from city to city across America's racetracks , despite all the economics pointing to shutdowns? It is not only demonic in nature, it is moronic in financial hope.<BR/>The gas, the taxes, the veterinarians, (if they ever do get called), the food, the shelter the electricity, the "workforce", all points to failure, particularly in 2008.<BR/>When you bring into the equation 40,000 puppies , it is sounding more and more insane . Greyhounds have no chance for survival under inadequate if not tortuous conditions, all created with mass expenses <BR/>even before it gets to the dog!<BR/>Most puppies are drowned in England and Ireland before they even reach half a year. Who's going to know? Certainly not the gambler at the track, and certainly not the housewife buying Iams for her Chow.<BR/>I have seen "retired" racers , get shuffled about from Jacksonville to Tampa and it looks to me that so many are in Rescues for years.<BR/>Is it any wonder we have violent societies where you can replace a cat, dog, kid and wife with very few questions asked and hardly a shrug of the shoulders! <BR/>America ,with all its "legal;" guns is under a government corrupt and "well-hidden" with abuses of power in every section of its workings. It is no wonder this thought is carried throughout the villages and cities as what one often sees becomes second nature and is easily copied if not accepted as " right".<BR/>With these types of attitudes, there will be little advancement in human decencies unless agencies such as Grey2K , World Wildlife Fund, Greenpeace, etc, try to cancel out these horrific philosophies. Greyhounds are not a piece of meat and represent, more than ever, a view into man's wretched soul. <BR/>When you have a bully in mind and matter, great and sad consequences occur. And eventually, all these negatives shall hit the initiator back in the face.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10010614.post-6258657306454337292008-11-14T16:14:00.000-05:002008-11-14T16:14:00.000-05:00Thank you for your 'Friday Hound Blogging'.
