Let me quote the website that supports the ban:

"The killing will never stop until people realize that it is the 'business' of greyhound racing which fosters and perpetuates the cruelty, no matter how hard they try to separate themselves from it. And it's just that simple. The cruelty will never end until greyhound racing is out of business." - Gary E. Dungan, Executive Director of The Humane Society of Tucson.

And that's what it's all about: money. Basically, one's there's money to be made, animals will be treated like crap and much, much worse. Money is what "fosters and perpetuates the cruelty". Take that aspect out of the equation and what will be left is the benign group of enthousiasts who cherish their dogs. No pain, no gain, they say; well then no gain must mean no pain. So just sign the damn petition and hope something good will come from it.


I am in blood
Stepp'd in so far, that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o'er.
