Good that it is closing. For all the wrong reasons, though.
Nice comments from everyone.
Isn't the RTG paid for by the "sport" itself? It's not even vaguely impartial.

yes - its the Industries vague attempt at mopping up the shit they cause. Although for the most part Ive found more anti racing people involved with the RGT than pro simply trying to help the dogs out , although it is a mixed bag - I just found it hard to swallow someone from the RGT saying that dogs will be pts because of the closure - ummmmmm yes dogs are pts because of racing!

You would have thought the Retired Greyhound Trust would be pleased. After all, it is the sick greyhound racing tracks that make it necessary for these sancturies to sadly exist. Am very shocked at the comment they made.

I used to go to the track to watch the races- a long time ago - pre-veggie.
Also had a nice chat with a lady at the greyhound stall at the Bristol Fayre.
But I don't know about the issues surrounding it.
I guess they are abused, which why it is a good thing for these grounds to close.
I will read up about it.

I can't see an option to post a comment. Is it 'write a letter to the editor'?
