An Introduction to the Trampoline

Are we really a nation of dog lovers?
I am not talking about your average pooch, I am talking about
the most obedient, loyal, loving, and trusting animal I know, the
racing greyhound.This breed of dog is the most discarded of
all breeds of dog, especially before, during and after their racing days.
Being an owner for many years and then a trainer of racing greyhounds
I have seen both worlds and have now decided, to give up and just try
and look after my 14 greyhounds that are now pets. They are
wonderful creatures and all greyhounds deserve better. I am out of
work at the moment but I will do everything I can do to give these animals
a home. The reason I gave up was because I could not sit around and
watch what I call sheer cruelty. I have seen an awful lot of perfectly
healthy animals put to sleep basically due to injures, too old for racing
or just not fast enough and have outlived there sell by date. The owners
and trainers of this small minority are gutless and only one thing rules
them, money.These are truly wonderful creatures and a loving home is
all they need, sadly thousands of these animals never get that far. It
saddens me .Everything in greyhound racing is quite often hidden from
the general
public and a small minority of owners and trainers use them
only for one thing, gambling. Only when these animals have given their
best, they are put to sleep, and then the younger greyhounds take their
place only to endure the same fate, as the previous greyhounds before them.
For this reason I have written a book on the subject and this will be out mid-
August. You can pre order this e-book at.
http://www.greyhoundreacingexposed.com It tells you what I have seen
throughout my racing days, how bookmakers never loose. It will help
prospective owners what to look for when purchasing a greyhound.
I hold nothing back and tell all. I am not worried if I upset or offend
anyone. The book may shock some people. The governing bodies do a
very good job but its not enough. Too many things are hidden from them.
For this reason I hope I can highlight the problem we have and maybe change
things around. There are over 10,000 greyhounds registered in the UK every
year. What happens to the thousands that leave the sport?
Thank you for taking the time to read this article
