742 Baird greyhounds
How amazing, Mike Baird’s
“about turn”. The way he has gone about implementing that law and then
reversing it saying, “I was wrong”, is so wrong. Why on Earth did he not just
say, “we looked at many more angles, listened to many more people, and this is
what we’ll do: the greyhound industry has six months to give us reason to
reverse the law.” (Intermediate) end of story. What sort of politician is he?
But the whole saga is
bewildering, to say the least: it may be true there is cruelty inherent in
running greyhounds. As there is in running horses. (Or, for that matter, rugby players.) But if we look at the problems of domestic
violence, car-crash deaths, suicides, deaths in custody and those related to
alcohol abuse … it’s probably - relatively speaking - not worth putting
thousands of people out of work for. Perspective, people, let’s be real.
(I'd like to know
if all those who cry out about cruelty to hounds & horses are vegans; or do
they by any chance eat meat, chickens, eggs and drink milk? If they do, are they aware what's being done to animals in order to feed the masses?)
