Question 3

[richips.livejournal.com]

Forgive my ignorance, but now that the ban on dog racing thankfully has been passed, what happens to the dogs?
Will they be put to sleep? Go to the mspca? Did they have a follow up program prepared?

If not, can we start something? Because we will need to act fast to make this vote not be in vain if they don't already have a plan.

see above. greyhounds are actually largely couch potatoes. they do not 'need to race.' they need regular care and exercise, just like any dog :)

And the wording of the question technically outlaws only "any dog racing meeting where any form of betting or wagering on the speed or ability of dogs occurs". Which doesn't really help racing, but does allow for the continuance of, for example, lure coursing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lure_coursing
