Monday night show concluded, and promo bumped down. Listen to the archived show at any time.
At 9:00 p.m. ET, join host Paulie Abeles for her Monday night show on No Quarter Radio. Tonight, Paulie talks with a leading animal protection advocate about greyhounds, revered for centuries by pharaohs and kings alike for their unbelievable agility, grace and speed. Greyhounds continue to hold a special place in the popular imagination.
The Greyhound Racing Association of America proclaims that greyhound racing is: “the cleanest sport in America,” but animal rights activists point to “greyhound farms” where as many as 34,000 greyhound puppies are bred annually to satisfy the demand for fast dogs. These dogs will eventually be destroyed when they outlive their commercial usefulness.
Largely as a result of public pressure, revenue derived from greyhound racing is no longer the financial windfall it once was. In Florida, the Office of Program Police Analysis in 2003 reported that greyhound racing was now costing Florida taxpayer’s money. So why does it continue?
Join me on Monday night, August 3rd at 9 pm on NoQuarter Radio’s Sins of Omission as we speak with Christine A. Dorchak, President and General Counsel of Grey2KUSA, a greyhound advocacy group. We discuss the unseen costs of greyhound racing and talk about her own amazing path in life that convinced her that “the dogs needed a lawyer”
Don’t miss it.
