I use to many years ago i was a kennel maid at greyhound racing kennels . now from what i saw not many injured BUT a lot of young dogs who didnt make the grade just disapeared with owners on my day off a sunday
dogs that were young like 18 months no good just went i was so upset when a blue bitch called BLUE my fav disapeared one day they said they found a pet home but i wasnt sure id heard rummours they let her loose on the motorway i dont know i was very upset,
but we never had many injured but then i got to say the bloke trainer i worked for was one of the better ones all our dogs got execised ither kennels only took the dogs that were racing out fr a walk but all of ours went i use to walk miles evert day, may be now they have changed things i dont know i know it wasnt iften a dog got injured and i worked thier for a few years and i never saw one PTS at the track ,
a sad life is a greyhound life on the scrap heap when a baby so sad they do make great pets pat
