Greyhound dies from bad meat at Sanford-Orlando Kennel Club
A racing greyhound died and 72 other dogs became ill, apparently after eating bad meat at the Sanford-Orlando Kennel Club earlier this year, according to a newly released report.
Every Three Days a Dog Dies at a Florida Racetrack
Every Three Days includes recent footage of greyhound confinement and deaths at racetracks across Florida. This footage was publicly released by the industry itself, and referred to as the “truth” about dog racing in the state.
The video contains footage of the final races for four greyhounds that died at Florida racetracks in 2017. It also includes footage of greyhound confinement that was publicly released by Sanford Orlando Kennel Club in 2014. Finally, the video contains footage of greyhound confinement that was shot in 2017 at Orange Park and Sanford Orlando Kennel Club, and publicly released by an industry supporter.
The following greyhound deaths are featured:
• On July 19, 2017 a two-year-old greyhound named B's Moody Too died after she fell during a race at Orange Park and suffered a broken leg. The track veterinarian later told a state investigator he destroyed Moody because even with surgery the dog would have a stiff and painful elbow joint.
• On March 31, 2017 a two-year-old greyhound named FF Adam was destroyed after he fell during a race at Sarasota Kennel Club and broke multiple bones in his left front leg.
• A 23-month-old greyhound named Flippin Bubba died after suffering a broken back during a race at Orange Park on October 14, 2017. He was destroyed a day before his second birthday.
• A two-year-old greyhound named ZZ Top This died after he fell and suffered a broken back during a race at Derby Lane on October 21, 2017.
4 closed, 7 still open; Greyhound tracks reveal their plans to stop racing
Amendment 13 passed by almost 70% of the voters in Florida in November 2018. It says greyhound racing must shut down by the end of 2020. A look at which tracks are closed already and which will race to the end.
Greyhound Racing Investigation – See the Shocking Results
Take action, here:
There are now approximately 8,000 greyhounds in Florida’s racing industry, and since the state began tracking greyhound deaths in 2013, 493 dogs have died on the tracks in the state. Greyhound racing is a dying enterprise, already illegal in 40 states, and where it does exist, the dogs mostly run in front of empty or near-empty bleachers. Ending it in Florida, home to 11 of the remaining 17 greyhound racing tracks in the United States, would help in guaranteeing the death of this industry in the United States and that is why we need every Floridian to come out and vote “yes” on Amendment 13. Let's strike a death blow to this enterprise built on the suffering of animals.

Inside Naples - Fort Myers Greyhound Track - Florida
In Florida, where 12 of the operational dog tracks in the US remain, the financial decline is even more significant. In the state, the amount gambled at dog tracks declined by 72% between 1990 and 2013. According to a study commissioned by the legislature, the state lost between $1 million and $3.3 million on greyhound racing in 2012. As recently as 2016, Florida industry professionals are starting to question if wagering is seeing a decline or just transitioning to unreported online formats
As popularity for greyhound dog racing dwindles, a Florida law is forcing some casinos to keep open

EIGHT TIMES A WEEK THEY'LL RACE AROUND THIS COURSE....
THE DOGS AT THE FLAGLER GREYHOUND TRACK IN MIAMI.. KEEPING A TRADITION GOING DATING BACK TO THE 1930'S.
SOUNDBITE (English): Isadore 'Izzy' Havenick, vice president of Magic City Casino
In the 80s, you would see this place, thousands of people, all of this seating behind us would be full. It was just a lot of fun.
TODAY.. HARDLY ANYBODY IS WATCHING.
DOG RACING HAS FALLEN OUT OF FAVOR WITH GAMBLERS AND AFICIONADOS IN RECENT YEARS -
ON THIS DAY.. THERE WERE JUST A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE IN THE STANDS.. BUILT TO HOLD 7-THOUSAND.
YET THE DOGS.. KEEP RACING.
IT'S PART OF WHAT'S KNOWN AS A COUPLING IN FLORIDA'S GAMBLING LAWS.. CREATED TO REGULATE THE CASINO BUSINESS.
TRACKS COULD OPEN SLOT MACHINES AND TABLE GAMES AS LONG AS THEY KEPT THE GREYHOUNDS RUNNING.
SOUNDBITE (English): Isadore 'Izzy' Havenick, vice president of Magic City Casino
We needed to be able to compete in the gambling marketplace... So without that we would have gone out of business.
FLORIDA IS HOME TO MORE THAN HALF OF THE NATION'S 21 DOG TRACKS - EVEN AS REVENUE CONTINUES TO FALL DRAMATICALLY.
ANIMAL RIGHTS ADVOCATES SAY IT'S ABOUT TIME TO CHANGE THE LAW.. AND CLOSE THE TRACKS.
SOUNDBITE (English): Kathy Pelton, secretary of greyhound protection group Grey2K USA
This industry should be banned because it's cruel and inhumane. The dogs must stay in crates, in cages. When they get to race there are injuries because they are going at 45 miles per hour.
TRACK OWNERS WANT THEM GONE TOO.
THEY UNSUCCESSFULLY LOBBIED THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO CHANGE ITS CASINO RULE.
AS AUDIENCES DWINDLE.. AND PUBLIC PRESSURE MOUNTS.. IT MAY NOT BE LONG BEFORE THIS DYING SPORT.. IS A THING OF THE PAST.
