Man's Best Friend

       
                        This is how it should be!
    

"The one absolutely unselfish friend a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be at his master's side.

He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He will lick the wounds and sores that come from the encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens".


The above is a quote from US Senator Vest in 1870 when he was addressing the jury in a court case in defense of a dog. This was a part of his impassioned plea.

The Reality Is:

         
Innocence And Unconditional Love Betrayed
By People Who Are Nothing
But Soulless Demons From Hell!

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 01 This dog butcher gestures to stop photographing his operation at the Moran Market on May 19, 2001.  To us, it seems obvious that dog meat purveyors know perfectly well that most of the world disapproves of their "business", and they don't want the evidence circulated.

 

(The Dog - Meat - 02)  A freshly killed dog lies on top of a cage of birds.  Cuts of dog meat rest on top of another cage in the foreground.  All of this is visible to the caged dogs in the adjacent cages.  This photo was also taken at the Moran Market on May 19, 2001.

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 03)  There are no visible signs of compassion present at the Moran Market where dogs are forced to watch their fellow canines being slaughtered and cut up (background) for meat, with full knowledge that the same fate awaits them.

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 04)  Irish Setters are not the usual choice of dogs for slaughter in Korea, but at the Moran Market, all dogs are considered "meat".

 

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 05)  Children walk past cages of dogs awaiting slaughter at the Moran Market in Korea.  Watching the slaughtering process hardens their hearts toward the pain and suffering, until they feel nothing.  The more we harden young hearts, the more we perpetuate cruelty and violence in the world.

 

(The Dog - Meat - 06)  Jack Russell terriers are among the more common "meat dogs".  If it isn't right for some people to eat dogs, then it isn't right for us to eat any other animal; for they all have emotions and feel pain, just like our beloved companions.

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 07)  At the top right of this photo, behind the cup, is a tray of cooked dog meat.  To these people, there is no difference between a cooked dog and a cooked chicken.  In the final analysis, there really isn't any difference.  It is only a person's selective compassion that tries to differentiate.

 

(The Dog - Meat - 08)  This is another photo of the caged animals at the Moran Market.  Note the "tender little puppy" in the cage in the center of the picture.

 

 
 

(The Dog - Meat - 09)  This is the wife of the dog butcher standing in front of an over-crowded cage of "meat dogs".  Don't get angry at these Koreans because they treat dogs this way and eat their flesh.  Our American farmers treat chickens and pigs the same way, and most people eat their dead bodies.  We just need to look at ourselves in the mirror a little harder.

 
 

(The Dog - Meat - 10 This is a typical (and illegal) dog farm in a Korean countryside.  In the city, people raise dogs in smaller numbers, nearly as pets, and then sell them to dog meat traders.  It is easy to deceive the dogs and gain their trust, only to betray them in the end.  This type of farm may be illegal, but the law isn't enforced any more than our U.S. humane slaughter laws are enforced, as we've been informed.  All the animals suffer and die.

 

(The Dog - Meat - 11 This photo was obtained with a hidden camera.  Although on paper these dog farms are illegal, the Korean government is doing nothing to enforce their laws.  An even better solution is to stop the consumer desire for flesh.  Compassion is better than the law!

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 12 Some traders raise a few dogs at a time and can sell them all in a day at the market. The prevalence of these small backyard operations is difficult to determine. There are usually a few residents in every neighborhood who raise dogs or steal or poison other people's pets in order to make a profit.

 

(The Dog - Meat - 13 Someone's stolen or abandoned Saint Bernard stands alone among the cages stuffed with dogs. The animals show signs of neglect. This is Moran Market in Sungnam City. It boasts the largest dog market in Korea. There are days of the week that are considered "dog days," when you can experience the true scope of this illegal trade. This photo was taken with hidden camera. Since the 1988 Seoul Olympics, word has spread that international animal welfare groups are campaigning against this industry, and dog meat dealers have become hostile to those who disapprove. In fact, you will now find plain-clothed guards posted at the markets to prevent foreigners from approaching.  (We have received reports of Saint Bernard dogs being raised for meat in China.) 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 14 Dogs are crammed so tightly in cages that there is no possible way for them to stand, much less be fed and watered as animal protection laws require.  The real problem is that there is little or no compassion!

 

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 15)  These large yellow dogs are considered the best for eating.  Is this any different from talking about enjoying a thick juicy steak?  There really isn't any difference.  All flesh comes to a person's plate with pain, suffering, and death.

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 16)  This caged dog is being raised for food.  Our neighbor has a companion dog who looks quite similar.  All animals and humans want to enjoy life.  If it's not right to choose to eat one dog over another, then it's not right to choose a pig, or chicken, or cow over a dog, either.

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 17 Once the dog is selected, it is dragged away to its death. These animals are not stupid. They can sense danger and live with death all around them.  Koreans believe that dogs who die painfully will release more adrenaline into their flesh, creating a more potent and flavorful meat.  This accounts for the savagely cruel methods of slaughtering.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 18)  This is another dog being dragged to his or her death.  Such photos give a whole new meaning to the term "hot dog".  Think about these photos the next time someone is considering eating one.

 

 

(The Dog -  Meat - 19)  The dogs that are still caged see what is happening to their companions, and hear their howls of pain and fear as they are being tortured and slaughtered.  The man on the right is using a torch to burn the fur off a dog.

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 20)  This is another dog who was killed and burned in front of his or her companions.  If you think this is wrong, then remember that here in the United States, we do similar things to other animals when we slaughter them.  There's no difference!  It all must stop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 21)  If people are sickened when they see a photo like this one, and can still go on and eat their fried chicken and burgers, they are expressing how limited their sphere of compassion really is.

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 22)  Even the dogs' heads are considered a delicacy.  But many people consider a whole roasted suckling pig to be a delicacy, too.  There really is no difference.

 

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 23)  A pile of dog skin and feet testifies to the recent deaths.  We human beings really need to evaluate our moral standards when it comes to the way we treat animals and each other.

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 24)  Is this table full of dog meat any different from the counters full of other animals' body parts that we see in the supermarkets?  Oh, yes!  There is a difference.  In the supermarket the meat is wrapped in plastic.

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 25)  This is a dog meat kitchen.  They love dogs, too -  in their stomachs.  But other humans love chickens, fish, pigs, lambs and calves the same way.  It's time we stop eating any animals.

 

 

 

                            The Philippines

 

(The Dog - Meat - 26 In the Philippines, dogs are usually sold at markets while still alive, their front limbs dislocated and tied painfully behind their backs, and a jagged tin can rammed over their jaws to make them easier to handle.  All in blatant disregard of a law that carries a minimal penalty which the police do not bother to even try to enforce.

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 27)  These Philippines dogs have been packed so tightly into this small cage that they can hardly breathe.  Humans always seem to find ways of being cruel to those they consider to be inferior to themselves.

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 28)  Human depravity is quite evident in this photo of dogs packed so tightly into a cage that they can't move and can hardly breathe.

 

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 29)  This dog was found during an early morning raid of a small Philippines dog slaughterhouse.  This dog had obviously been left in agony all night long.  There always seems to be some depraved individual who has found a way of multiplying cruelty and inflicting it upon the innocent.  This is truly an abomination before God.

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 30)  This is another photo of a Philippines dog being tortured by having his or her forelegs dislocated and tied behind his or her back and having a metal can forced over his or her mouth and nose.

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 31)  This is a closer look at the way cans are forced over the mouth and nose of these innocent dogs in the Philippines dog meat industry.  Dogs don't perspire to lose heat as we humans do; they pant to allow evaporation of water from their tongues to keep them cool.  This form of torture prevents them from panting.

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 32)  This dog is cruelly being dragged across a crowded Philippines street to his or her continued torture and death.  Human beings will never know peace in this world until we learn to have compassion for every living being and stop atrocities like these.

 

 

 

 

 

                       Korea

 

(The Dog - Meat - 33)  These dogs have been crammed into these small cages, loaded two deep on this truck, and are on their way to a market in Korea where they will be slaughtered for their meat, and fur. 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 34)  This photo, of what appears to be an ungutted roasted dog lying on top of a cage of living dogs, was taken at the Moran Market outside of Seoul, Korea.  Not only was the roasted dog tortured to death, but they use the dead body to torment the still living dogs.  In our opinion, this is not a national tradition; it is a national disgrace.

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 35)  Roasted dogs and dog meat on display at the Moran Market near Seoul, Korea.  If people think it's wrong to mistreat and eat dogs, then it should be equally wrong to mistreat and eat any other animals, too.  Stop the cruelty!  Stop eating meat and animal products.

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 36)  This is another photo of the roasted dogs being sold at the Moran Market near Seoul, Korea.  Note the live animal cages in the background.  The people seem to have no concern for the suffering they cause.

 

 

 

(The Dog - Meat - 37)  The killing block at the Moran Market near Seoul, Korea, where all the sights, sounds, and smells of the animals being killed are right in front of the dogs that remain alive.  They have to know what is going to happen to them!

 

 

 

 

                   China

 

(The Dog - Fur - 01)  In China, dogs are raised and sold for their fur and meat.  These dogs are chained up in the market place awaiting their fate.

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 02)  This dog has been killed for his or her fur and meat.  The man on the left has begun skinning the dog by slitting the skin on the hind leg.

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 03)  Based on the way that this woman is dressed, it appears that she came to this market to buy the dog meat after the dog had been skinned for his or her fur.  Her utter lack of compassion is expressed by the way she helps the slaughterer split the dog in half.

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 04)  The dog skins are being scraped clean beside this stream.  If you don't think it's all right to wear dog fur, then it's not all right to wear the fur of any other animal, either; for they all suffer and die for human greed.

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 05)  This dog watches and waits in terror as other dogs are killed and skinned for their fur, knowing that his or her turn will be next.

 

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 06)  No matter how bad you may think this Chinese dog killing field is, it is no worse than what is done to other animals in our modern slaughterhouses where animals are also killed and skinned for their meat, fur, and leather.  If it's not right to do this to dogs, it's not right to do this to other animals, either.

 

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 07)  A dog skinner holds a fat covered knife after skinning the dog on the left.

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 08)  A freshly skinned dog lies by the side of the stream.  Here, dogs are definitely not "man's best friend".

 

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 09)  At this market, a young dog, who has been tied up in a sack, is being weighed, while another dog awaits his or her turn.

 

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 10)  These two dogs are in full sight and sound of the horror that awaits them.  We cannot fully love a dog or another animal, if we also eat animals; for part of our heart has been hardened to his or her pain and suffering.

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 11)  In this photo two men pull on the hind legs of this skinned dog, while a third man cleaves the dog in half.  In the United States we have no right to complain about what is done to dogs in other countries, as long as we do the same things to other animals.

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 12)  Another freshly killed dog is about to be skinned for her fur.  Some of this fur ended up in the United States as fur trim on coats, parkas and other garments.  It's time we treat all animals as our companions and not just a select few!

 

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 13)  This is a truckload of cages packed full of dogs and cats on the way to a Chinese fur factory where they will be killed and skinned for their fur.

 

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 14)  This is a closer look at the cages full of dogs on the truck.

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 15)  We can see the pleading look on this dog's face.  "Why are you doing this to me and my companions?  Please help us!"

 

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 16)  Another forlorn dog on his or her way to be killed for nothing more than a human's lust for his or her fur.

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 17)  When the truck arrives at the factory, the cages full of living dogs and cats are deliberately dropped from the top of the pile down to the bed of the truck, which often caused serious injury and broken bones.  This is all part of the beauty of fur coats and trim.

 

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 18)  The man on the bed of the truck then kicks the cage over to the edge of the truck.  The cruelty continues.

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 19)  Then the man kicks the cage full of living dogs off the bed of the truck, allowing it to fall another four feet to the concrete floor below.  People need to know the cruelty that go into fur - tell them!

 

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 20)  Then the men pick up the cage and set it on a pile of other dogs.

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Fur - 21)  So many dogs have been crammed into this cages that they no room to move.  Cruelty adorns itself in someone else's fur.  Don't wear fur!

 

 

 

 

                       Dogs in research laboratories

 

(The Dog - Research - 01 To test the effects of burns, this dog was burned alive at the Shriner's Hospital, Cincinnati, OH, USA. Courtesy of P.E.T.A. (1980's-1990's)  This particular research project may no longer be going on, but similar atrocities are still going on in laboratories all over the world.  If these researchers were really compassionate, they could have tried to help the animals that are accidentally burned in fires every year, and lovingly cared for them instead of thrusting them in wire cages.

 

(The Dog - Research - 02 This dog's leg was deliberately shattered with a hammer for the purpose of inducing psychological stress. The dog received no anesthetic nor medical treatment during or after the injury was inflicted.  [Photo drawn from: Entering the Gates of Hell, IAAPEA (1980's).]  This is another example of the insanity that is going on in laboratories all over the world.  If these researchers really wanted to help, they could have applied their "skills" in trying to help real accident victims.

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 03 This dog was rescued from a laboratory where it had been subjected to experiments on his hind legs. [Photo drawn from JAVA (Japan Anti Vivisection Association). (1990's).]  There are so many real situations from which to derive research data, where care-givers could do some actual good, that these kinds of experiments are rendered totally unnecessary.  Stop supporting organizations that fund laboratory experiments on animals.

 

(The Dog - Research - 04)  These dogs were killed after experiments in the CBSC laboratories, Burlington, USA, 1990. [Courtesy of P.E.T.A. (1980's-1990's)]   We have not found one instance where such laboratory research couldn't have been done in the process of helping humans and non-humans in real-life situations.

 

(The Dog - Research - 05)  This is one of the 32 dogs in which liver cirrhosis has been induced experimentally (Porto Rico University). [Photo drawn from: Annual Pictorial Review of the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Vivisection (1950's - early 1970's)]

 

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 06)  This dog was killed after being used in teaching experiments in a Japanese University, Faculty of Veterinary, 15/5/91.  [Photo given by JAVA (Japan Anti Vivisection Association)]   Surely, whatever was taught in this situation could have been more effectively learned in actual clinical settings that helped the animals, and with the use of video tapes of actual veterinary care.

 

(The Dog - Research - 07 This picture was taken by PETA activists during an inspection at the Wright State University. [Courtesy of PETA (1990's).]

 

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 08)  It's one thing to perform surgery on a dog who has an illness or injury in order to cure him or her, as we do with our fellow human beings; but to deliberately cut open a healthy dog for whatever reason is an affront to God and to humanity.

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 09)  To us, there seems to be no limit to the atrocities that human beings can devise in the name of "science".

 

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 10)  Note the expression of fear and misery in this dog's face as he or she cowers even from the photographer.  Stop supporting any organization that funds research on animals.

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 11)  This dead beagle is just so much trash to the vivisectors in this facility; and from what we have observed and learned, this is the norm.

 

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 12)  These innocent dogs have been placed in prison cells.  They pine away in their loneliness, only to be tortured at the whim of humans.  In our opinion, the wrong beings are in prison.

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 13)  Placed in solitary confinement, this beagle is forced to suffer alone from the evils that have been inflicted upon him or her.

 

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 14)  We began publishing this series on animal exploitation because the atrocities were too great to ignore, even though compiling such documentation made us "sick to our stomachs."  When will we humans wake up to the fact that we don't have the right to do these things, even though we have the power to do them.  An abuse of power is evil.

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 15)  These dogs are held up in harnesses so that they can't even lie down.  Note how the dog to the left, on the back counter, has slumped in the harness.  These dogs are no different from our companions we have at home; and they deserve to be treated just as compassionately, which will never happen in a research facility.

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 16)  Really look into the face of this dog and feel the sadness and loneliness of being in an isolation cell.

 

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 17)  This beagle is willing to be one of "man's best friends."  He or she is even willing to forgive those who have tormented him or her.  Every person who has a canine companion knows this about the character of dogs.  These researchers are looking in all the wrong places for their answers; and yet the truth is right before their "blind" eyes and "deaf" ears.

 

(The Dog - Research - 18)  Even the puppies are kept in prison.  God created every living being (soul) to enjoy His creation and not to be subjected to such evils.

 

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 19)  This is another photo of innocent dogs who have been confined in prison cells.  For most, if not all, this is death row.

 

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 20)  Look at the pleading look on this dog's face.  He doesn't even have a soft place to lie down.  Even the floor is composed of metal bars.

 

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 21)  What is the defect in the human soul that allows some people to imprison certain dogs and experiment on them, and then go home and pat their own dogs on the head as though everything is just fine?

 

(The Dog - Research - 22)  Before they are experimented upon, these young beagles trustingly seem happy to see humans, which makes what people do to them that much more evil.

 

 
 

(The Dog - Research - 23)  Cell after cell of cold hard metal and isolation.  In these laboratories there is no compassion, no comfort, and only loneliness, suffering and death.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 24)  Look at the starved condition of this dog.  He or she must be near death.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 25)  Billions of our tax dollars and charitable donations are given to research facilities where animals are tormented.  Is this what you want?  If not, speak up!  Write letters!

 

 

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Research - 26)  Researchers grafted the head of one dog onto another dog just to demonstrate that they have the power to do so.  Such an experiment is absolutely ungodly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Cruelty - 01)  This is a video still of a supposedly stray dog being shot by US solders in Iraq.  The dust from the bullet going through the dog can be see in the air to the left of the dog, who is still very much alive and screaming in pain. See video clip

 

 

 

(The Dog - Cruelty - 02)  The dog looks up in seeming disbelief that anyone would inflict so much pain on him or her.  And all the solders do is joke about the dog's will to live and keep shooting.  We teach our young men to kill, but we don't seem to teach them that this is going to far.  This is one of the reasons we are against all war and killing. See video clip

 

 

(The Dog - Cruelty - 03)  The next bullet almost explosively flips the dog up over backwards.  From the voices of the solders, they seem to be hunting dogs.  These men are probably better trained in the "art of killing" than most hunters, and yet they can't make a "clean kill".  This also proves how ridiculous the "clean kill" claims of hunters rally are. See video clip

 

 

(The Dog - Cruelty - 04)  This dog is still very much alive and screaming in pain as the ungodly acting soldier approaches. See video clip

 

 

 

(The Dog - Cruelty - 05)  As the dog tries to get up again, the soldier shoots two more time and flips the dog back over again, and the dog is still not dead.  In all it took at least 5 bullets for these brave soldiers to kill this innocent dog.  This is not collateral damage; this is an atrocity. See video clip

 

 

(The Dog - Cruelty - 06)  Similar to what happened in Iraq with stray dogs, at the 2005 European Basketball Championship in Belgrade, Sponsored by FIBA (Federation Internationale de Basketball) the games were stained with blood due to the massive extermination of hundreds upon thousands of Companion Animals (Dogs and Cats (Pets)).  Part of the responsibility for this cruelty rests with humans who refuse to spay and neuter their companion animals and who let them run free in the neighborhood.

(The Dog - Cruelty - 07)  Caught dogs and cats are transported on “Dog Catcher” trucks which also contain the bodies of dead animals that have already been poisoned and have been lying in the streets in cities and towns throughout Serbia.

 

 

(The Dog - Cruelty - 08)  A captures live cat looks at the dead dogs.  Animal control in Serbia consists of: paying hunters for each animal killed (hunters present the animal’s tail for payment), poison such as T-61 and Kreozan which kills by suffocation, drenching the animal with gasoline and burning them to death and other barbaric methods such as beating, stoning and hanging.

 

 

(The Dog - Cruelty - 09)  This is a look inside Belgrade’s housing for animals, the notorious city animal pound, OVCA.  Such cruelty is inexcusable, but if people take responsibility for their companion animals, these things would not take place.

 

 

 

(The Dog - Cruelty - 10)  This is another look inside Belgrade’s housing for animals, the notorious city animal pound, OVCA.

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Cruelty - 11)  This woman mourns the death of a beloved companion dog.

 

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Cruelty - 12)  There is no excuse for using these cruel methods of controlling stray animal populations.  When responsible citizens and government work together, no animals have to die.  This has been proven by AnimalKind www.animalkind.info in the city of Hudson, NY, and in the surrounding communities.

 

 

 

                          Sled Dogs

 

(The Dog - Sport - 01)  One of the sled dogs is being dragged on the ice.  It is either dead or unconscious, and most likely the musher has fallen asleep in the sled.  This is using dogs for the pleasure of humans, and as we can see here, it can result in injury and death.

 

 

(The Dog - Sport - 02)  The sled dogs in this compound are tethered to poles with just enough length to allow the dogs to enter their shelters and to get food and water.  It is obvious to us, from this photo, that these dogs are not companions, they are possessions.  They may be "cared for" in much the same way as car racers care for their vehicles, but they are not loved.

 

 

(The Dog - Sport - 03)  This photo gives us a closer look at the chain tethers that are used to keep these sled dogs confined.  This dog is obviously bored and frustrated and has resorted to digging as a way to occupy his or her time.  These dogs aren't even allowed the pleasure of playing together.

 

 

 

(The Dog - Sport - 04)  There has been a lot of "glamour" associated with mushing and dog sled  racing, particularly with the Iditarod.  But the glamour is for some humans and not for the dogs.  The dogs may seem eager, since being faced with a choice between the boredom of the compound or pulling a sled, the dogs may choose to pull the sled; but that is really the result of the psychology of raising sled dogs. All the pent-up energy and boredom is channeled into sled pulling; in other words, the dogs are being manipulated.  Do not support these inhumane practices.  Dogs should not be USED.  They should be loved

 

 

                     Dog Racing

 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 05 These greyhounds were found in an Idaho dump near the dog track. They were shot or bludgeoned to death.  Everyone who supports dog racing, also supports this cruelty.  When these beautiful dogs can no longer earn money, they are considered nothing but trash.

 

 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 06 Some former racing greyhounds continue to be treated badly after their racing days are over. These dogs were kept in filthy conditions while being used for research in a university laboratory, only to end their lives crammed into garbage cans.  To us, these ungodly acts show how depraved some human beings can become.  Anyone who goes to a dog track or bets on a race is just as guilty of these atrocities as those who tortured and murdered these dogs.

 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 07 These racing dogs were left to be killed at a Massachusetts shelter (Pittsfield, MA). They were from Green Mountain Track, Vermont (now closed).  Our hope and prayer is that everyone would boycott every dog track until they all close.

 

 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 08)  At the end of the racing season, this emaciated dog was brought to be killed.  This is just another case of use them, abuse them, neglect them, and throw them away, which shows how hard of heart these people are.

 

 

 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 09 This is one of the ten starving greyhounds who were found in South Phoenix pens with little food and no water.  Such situations confirm our opinion that people who are involved in an animal exploitation business have no true love or compassion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 10)  For a person to allow a dog to starve like this one shows how evil some people can become.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 11)  This is another starving dog that was rescued from a racing kennel in Connecticut.  The only way to permanently stop this cruelty is to make dog racing a thing of the past.  Don't support dog racing.  Tell others about the cruelty.  Write letters to your newspapers and elected officials.

 

 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 12 This is one of two greyhounds who were bludgeoned and thrown into a dumpster outside of a racing kennel in Arizona.  This is just another example of how evil people in the dog racing industry really are.  They seem totally devoid of any love and compassion.

 

 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 13)  These are the decapitated remains of some "spent" greyhound racing dogs who were sent to a research laboratory to be experimented upon.

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 14 "He's my Denny," a two-year old male greyhound racing at the Daytona Beach Kennel Club, died on January 28, 1996 from untreated, gangrenous wounds sustained in a dog fight five days earlier. The dog was discovered when nearby greyhound adoption volunteers heard him whimpering in his crate. The dog's trainer and caregiver was arrested on a charge of felony animal cruelty. A kennel assistant was arrested on a misdemeanor animal abandonment charge.   

 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 15 This is a photo of leg injuries that were found on a racing greyhound at a Massachusetts shelter.

 

 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 16 Racing greyhounds often get sores from being constantly muzzled.  This New Hampshire racer shows injuries from having his or her mouth taped shut.  The cruelty will never end until this industry ends.  If a race track in located near you or in your state, speak out against it.  Refer people to this and other web sites so they can see for themselves.

 

 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 17)  This racing greyhound has open sores from being excessively caged on hard surfaces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 18)  This is another photo of the open sores that the greyhound racing industry causes by excessive caging of the dogs on hard surfaces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 19)  Because these greyhounds were considered too slow at a New England race track, they were killed.  As far as we are concerned, the people in this industry have lost all credibility when they say, "If we didn't care for the dogs, we wouldn't make any money."  It is obvious that the only thing they care about is the money.

 
 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 20)  This is another example of the correctness of the Biblical teaching that: "the love of money is the root of all sorts of evil." (1 Timothy 6:10)  These dogs were killed because they were considered too slow at a New England race track.

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 22)  Some people may argue that this is an isolated case that has nothing to do with the "sport", and that may be true to some extent, that is, if we eliminate the underlying cause.  Once a society's moral values descends to the point that the exploitation of any living being as considered acceptable, that society opens its doors up to all sorts of abuses, such as the one depicted here.

 

 

 
 

 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 23)  Some people don't like to think of other people as being evil, but there should be no misinterpretation of the fact that the torture and suffering inflicted upon this dog was evil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(The Dog - Sport of Dog Racing - 24)  And if there is still any doubt that animal exploitive "sports" attract evil, this decomposed body of a once beautiful greyhound that was left to rot, should dispel any of those doubts.  Speak out!  Stop the exploitation of animals.
