  17. 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

  18. 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

  19. Greyhound racing… • Is inhumane • Is cruel • Desensitizes children • Should be stopped in the state of Arizona
