Takes 2 men to shove POOKIES JULIA into the traps @TheValleyTrack and they shut the poor dogs tail in the metal door! You can see the metal side flexing as the dog thrashes about. But they tell us these dogs are treated better than pets. 1/2 #cutthechase #petsnotbets

I asked the trainer this morning if Ranches Bandit was ok after a bad fall at Valley track in February because he hadn’t raced again. I’m happy to RP this photo of Bandit taken today and glad to see him looking well. He’s a very handsome boy. Thank you.

@Jura_Harris @solderandflux @Nomyhound162522 @Monmoredogs @GreyhoundBoard Accidents happen because of incompetence and neglect. Just about understandable. Repeatedly racing this dog is not an accident, it's a systemic failure of an exploitative regulatory & economic system. Filling the traps with injured & vulnerable dogs for betting industry.
