Greyhound Records Released
For the first time, GREY2K USA has been able to obtain official records for greyhounds racing in the state of Arizona. All information was provided by the Arizona Department of Racing in response to statutory public information requests.
According to reports provided by the Department of Racing, and as reported in the Arizona Republic, more than five hundred greyhounds were reported as injured (404), too sick to race (49) or too hurt to race (87) at two Arizona dog tracks in 2008. Injuries included dogs that suffered broken legs, broken backs, dislocations, amputations and paralysis.
It is our hope that this new information will help bring an end to the cruelty of greyhound racing in yet another state.
