In their newest hunt to
destroy all and sundry regarding the racing greyhound, a “humane advocate
protector” organization recently stated they will ask the Florida voters one
simple question “Would you treat your dog this way?
What if the Florida
voters learned that this same organization has a board member who was
accused of “abusing” greyhounds several years ago? Does the “humane
advocate protector” leadership and fellow board members fully vet anyone
associated with the organization?
Several years ago, several
people witnessed what at the time they called greyhound abuse by the head of an
adoption program. At some point, after the adoption program head met privately
with the witnesses, several backed out of the claim but it is my understanding
no disinterested party could investigate the charges. The person and several
witnesses quickly left an organization that would have investigated the charges
and made factual determination if greyhound abuse had taken place.
While an investigation
was not able to be conducted due to the principal’s departure from the
organization, just knowing that action was witnessed and reported makes one
wonder if the “humane advocate protector” organization has the right to
ask anyone “Would you treat your dog this way?” when one of their board members
may have done exactly what the “humane advocate protectors" often pillory
greyhound trainers for doing?
We will never have the
true facts from all involved in the situation but based on their previous
actions, if this was someone on the greyhound racing side the “humane advocate
protectors” would be running to every media outlet with the story regardless of
documented facts and asking, “Would you treat your dog this way?”
So how would you treat
your pet dog(s) in an extreme situation if their safety was at risk?
