Reign of the Greyhound Book

This is the worst book I've read since Ron Kittle's "Tales From the White Sox Dugout." I was going to give it one star out of charity, then Branigan got to her support of Greyhound racing as an institution. As only Greyhound enthusiasts are likely to read this, here are a few rebuttals.

1. Branigan writes that "human evolution" should allow for a more humane greyhound racing industry. Darwin, she's not. Actually, human evolution will allow for an eventual boarding up of all tracks, as race-to-the-bottom capitalism will always trump the good intentions of the few well meaning breeders/operators.

2. She writes that the industry is making progress, as evidenced by the American Greyhound Council's donations of over $750,000 over ten years to rescue organizations. That's $75,000 per year. Far from evidence of progress, this figure is quite despicable. Next time, she should save herself some time and just print the AGC's press release verbatim.

3. There's really no point in going on...
