Your views

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

Please provide your response in the box provided.
Racing Greyhounds are not "exploited" as the animal rights fanatics would have it - certainly no more "exploited" than any other working type of dog such as a farmers collie , a police/army dog, or for that matter, a pet dog or therapy dog. Racing greyhounds have to be kept in good condition to ensure they have optimum mental and physical fitness for a race, the same as a human athlete.
Additionaly, the sport of racing brings pleasure to many, and is a social occasion that also keeps trainers and track employees in work.

The Commission's report is innacurate and biased in favour of animal rights propaganda.
