Quote from Dorothy:
The sport continues to please the public while some of the dogs, unfortunately have to suffer the consequences of accidents on the track. With the soaring cost of vet bills, it is easy to see why some prefer to euthanize the dog rather than to try to get it healthy enough to race ( depending on how bad the cuts etc., are) or be adopted.
I think one writer had the right idea that those who put their dogs in the sport, should have a "user" fee to be used to help get these dogs to be adopted after they no longer are making their owners a profit.
