Watched it last night,my God,if that doesn't put the nail in their coffin nothing will,sickening scenes,a live dog thrown in to a pot of boiling water,sold to China by a well known trainer,and they have the audacity to look down their noses at us,

That thing where they put that live dog in the pot is one of the most terrible things I have ever seen......I wouldnt mind betting that scene alone will finish that industry.

It's been finished a good while.

The thing about the knacker men shooting them didn’t really bother me, I’d say that was instant and a damn sight kinder than sending them to China but like all these programmes, a bit of perspective won’t come into it.

As you say lads, that industry is dying on its arse anyway so won’t be long before it’s all over.

The greyhounds of today are the fastest dogs to have ever existed but as racing dies then they will fade into a caricature of themselves.

I don't know,the best of today would be doing well to Beat The best of the 40s and 50s.The average is definitely a lot faster.
