Looking for a few fast friends

No, Prozac is still on par with the best antidepressants, but I really think you need to be on antipsychotics instead.

Honest question, Mike, are you schizophrenic?

[Mike Mulligan]

I took care of a schizophrenic 60 man once. I use to drive him around in a new state car for 12 hours, that was his program. I changed his diapers.

When will these pseudo-journalists stop regurgitating Peta's animal rights' propoganda?? Greyhounds and hats? I have 20 years experience in Greyhound adoption and this is the first time I've ever heard that Greyhounds are afraid of hats. They're not! This article tells it the way it just isn't. It's a lie. I can say with complete certainty that there is no connection with Greyhounds and hats. An animal rights' activist stayed up one night and manufactored this propoganda and people who don't know any better believe it.

Time and time again, I have seen dogs retired for five years jump three feet in the air and spin their tails in joy when they see their old trainers at retired racers' reunions. This guy isn't fooling me at all because I know better.

Now, I'm going to blow this article out of the water right now. A dog will tell you how he's been treated by his behavior. You can tell very quickly if a dog has been abused or treated very well by the way he interacts with you. Greyhounds go from the racetrack right into peoples' homes without a hitch. No behavior modification, nothing, they go straight into homes. They act like every person they meet is their best friend in the whole world. What does that tell us? It tells us the dogs are treated super well. They're happy, healthy, and loved. A blind man could see this. Yet, this kind of animal rights' propoganda still gets printed as truth. Trainers are doing right by the dogs. How about giving them a pat on the back for it instead?

That is such BS!!! Why put a comment in an article that isn't based on any fact at all. Dogs bark when they're happy you idiots. They probably missed their handlers and hate being locked up!
Death to Grey2k!! They are going to cause more greyhound deaths than any track in the country!
What a shame that useless drivel like this has to be published.
BTW I didn't RESCUE my greyhound, I adopted her!! HA!!

dont you foolish people know that animals have no soul,and god put them on this earth fo our pleasue and food, and that the dogs were bread though many many years to be racing dogs or hunting dogs ect,now the greyhound is left to be under more stress because he has it in his blood to race but cant now, just ask them sometime

They know that, they don't care. They only care about the money they raise for themselves.

I remember the congressional hearings on the horse racing last year. Basically they were generically engineering the horses to be faster but weaker, and there was essentially chemical warfare trying to make horses run faster. The theme was there was generally a bunch of spoiled rich right wing fanatics who owned most of these tracts, and the horsing industry, mostly their father's built the industry, and now the spoil rotten kids owned the tracts. They hated government and fought to the death over any oversight by anyone. The tracts themselves were disorganized as a group and constantly battled each other stupid details. It was utter chaos with little regulations and the industry was collapsing right in front of everyone. It was noted that nobody was trying to figure out what the young generation wanted in the horse or dog track industry...most young adults stayed away from the tracks.

I lot of big tracts were advocating for a wholesale reregulation of the industry...tough federal regulation, whereby the local tracts wouldn’t be able to influence the state regulation. These were the spoiled rich right wing brats horse racing republicans who’d seen the trajectory heading towards oblivion...where the fix was centralization and reregulation of the industry with a heavy hand to make the bad boys play fair by a set of rules everyone could follow.

What was interesting with this congressional investigation, it was going on just before the stock market crash....and aren’t we talking about the same themes everywhere in our economy.

If I was a track owner and worried about the animal people...I would have had a relationship with all the local media and I would have been inviting them into kennels. The track owners went toward subcontracting kennel services and the training of racers....in this form they couldn’t maintained quality of those facilities.
