The greyhound racing industry is still under a shadow because of the live baiting scandal. Now they have found a mass grave with 9 greyhound bodies in it. There were other dogs on the property that were emaciated and unwell.

It looks like the ban on greyhound racing was a good idea. Two years ago it was banned and then unbanned.
Clearly there are deep problems in the whole greyhound racing industry. This isn't the first incident of animal cruelty.
In the end if they want to fix things and prevent cruelty the whole industry will have to be banned.
I still remember the live baiting scandal.

Even though the video of the possum has expired I still see the incident in my mind. How could we forget the sight of a possum baby being ripped from its mother's back and killed in front of her and then her being tied to the lure and spun around the track many, many times while the dogs ripped her apart.
The industry hasn't improved. It needs to really be banned this time.
