Greyhound racing almost banned in NH

[skunkstripe]

Last month, the New Hampshire House of Representatives declined to pass a bill that would have outlawed greyhound racing in the Granite State and effectively would have ended betting on simulcasts. The vote on the so-called Dog Protection Act was 198 to 138.

The sad reality continues because the money keeps doing the talking.

I'm very against greyhound racing. I wish it were stopped everywhere. It's not really the racing I mind, so much as the betting and "ending".
