There is a law, it's called Chapter 272: Section 77. Cruelty to animals (http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/272-77.htm)
The problem is it's not enforced, at least at the greyhound tracks. Instead of getting the authorities to enforce it, the proponents of Q2 went the easy road of banning racing altogether

I personally don't like to stop the people from an activity they enjoy, so I will vote No on this question.

Ditto. I'm a vegetarian and am generally not into being mean to doggies, but this looks like using a sledgehammer to solve a problem we need... well, whatever the best hardware store analogy for stricter regulation and enforcement is, that's what I'd say we need.

I sympathize with the people behind Q3, but since when does the government not doing its job call for more government?
