1. What is your view about the welfare of greyhounds used for racing in Scotland?

Please provide your response in the box provided.
I raced greyhounds for 40 years all my dogs were looked after if not better than pets. After there racing days were over they went as pets anyone who says there not looked after is deluded

Greyhound racing is such a joy when you rear them from 12 weeks to watch them racing what a wonderful feeling I would still be rearing and racing them but due to work I cannot do it but hopefully when I retire I will have kennels and get back enjoying such a wonderful sport
