Paws Up! To Congressman Tony Cardenas for introducing legislation that would phase out dog racing in the United States.
August 4, 2020
On Wednesday, July 29th, 2020, Congressman Tony Cardenas (D-CA) introduced the Greyhound Protection Act, which would phase out all live dog racing across the United States.
As more and more states pass legislation to end dog racing, a few states like West Virginia and Iowa are holding out as long as they can. Congressmen like Tony Cardenas have decided that enough is enough, and have introduced a bill that would ban greyhound racing nationwide.
Here are just some of the cruelties involved in the greyhound racing industry:
Take Action: While this bill is in its very early stages, it is never too early to talk to your representatives! Please contact them today and tell them to vote in favor of this federal greyhound racing ban!
Please ban dog racing!
It’s time to stop using animals for sport.
Dog Racing must be banned forever. These beautiful dogs are brutalized and tortured for their entire loves.
Greyhounds are victims of Human Disease of “Gambling” Time to go to “Gambling Anonymous” and are used for profit and treated badly for profit. End this bad game!
More abuse of animals! Terrible!
Greyhound racing is cruel and senseless. Just think if one of these greyhounds was your family pet. Would you still allow this to take place? Please ban this forever!
I want Greyhound Racing banned forever! These beautiful dogs deserve to be treated with love, affection, comfortable surroundings and respect. I detest all animal racing and wish it were all banned forever as well. This horrible form of human gambling is totally unnecessary!
