You seem to think that there will be the political will to ban the races, and yet absolutely no effort made to protect any dogs when a ban is announced or arrests begin.


I don't think the political will will ever exist to do either. That's part of my point. That would cost lots of votes AND lots of money. In a democracy, it's a rare politician who ever does what's right if it costs votes.

Greyhound racing is a popular sport, ergo banning it is a vote loser even if the majority of the people would back a ban, which they likely won't.

Animal cruelty on the other hand is a much more popular issue, with a far larger number of people likely to support it.

Thus a petition demanding an end to cruelty to greyhounds is far more likely to be supported and heard than one which calls for a total ban on racing.

This particular petition will do no good because it's aiming at the wrong target.
