Underplays Abusive Conditions of Tucson Track Greyhounds
Taylor claimed that Tucson Greyhound Park was an “ideal place for dogs.” He refused to allow reporters to see the kennels for themselves, saying that that the TV station would “show it to thousands of people, and we don’t know how they’re going to take it.” He added that he “could show you a picture of the Mona Lisa, and you could say ‘Oh, that’s horrible.’”
Well the real story from the Tucson track is NOT the Mona Lisa. Instead, the truth is ugly as this video attests. Photographs taken by the Pima County investigators reveal terrible conditions at this track”
photographs document the same conditions our investigators found: greyhounds living in warehouse style kennels, in wire cages barely large enough for them to stand up or turn around. Many greyhounds are muzzled, and live in darkness. They have no bedding except for scraps of carpet.
