Reply #6: What is the effect of the legislation? [View All]

[Ready4Change]

The article doesn't go into it, other than if greyhounds aren't legally pet dogs then they be under increased pressure to be bred for winning characteristics as the dog racing industry wanes.

I'm aware of many aspects of the dog racing environment, and if my house weren't full with pets I'd likely have contacted a local greyhound rescue group to adopt, as I love greyhounds and their temperment. (How dogs which are treated so badly can be so sweet I'll never know.) And I certainly agree that greyhounds are dogs. Period.

But what, specifically would be the effect of the law change? And is there any reason to believe it would be better enforced than existing laws?
