Students Helping Greyhounds Doolen Middle School Tucson, Arizona. The US is known as a nation of dog lovers. Many dogs are very spoiled. Many have lots of love, food and toys. But one dog is treated differently…. Even though in the past, he was considered royalty. He is gentle.

The racing industry wants us to believe that greyhounds are treated like companion animals
Very often they get broken legs, multiple fractures and cardiac arrest
Greyhound racing is not good for the economy In Arizona, the greyhound race tracks (Tucson and Phoenix) do not pay taxes on off track betting revenues
Greyhound racing… • It is not a fun sport • It is not affordable entertainment for the whole family • Does not promote tourism in Arizona • It is detrimental to the taxpayers in Arizona • Does not consider the welfare of the animals
Greyhound racing… • Is inhumane • Is cruel • Desensitizes children • Should be stopped in the state of Arizona
You are a kid, but you can help • Tell all your friends and family about the truth of greyhound racing • Wear your GREY2K USA button and educate people • Do not attend dog races • Ask adults you know not to bet on dog races • With the help of your parents, write to state officials to express your opposition • Support the efforts of GREY2K USA and other advocacy groups
Come gentle Greyhound; rest your head in my hands,And let me rescue you from this place if I can.This place of sorrow, abuse and neglect,And I will give you a better life where you can forget Sue Stoddart
