RACING GREYHOUNDS CONFISCATED FROM DEFUNCT ARKANSAS BREEDING FARM
When volunteers from a local animal rescue organization received
an anonymous tip of greyhound abuse in Greene County, they immediately
responded to the call. But they were unprepared for the grim scene
that unfolded before their eyes. Rescuers initially found three
greyhounds running loose and in desperate need of food and water.
When they returned with supplies and took a closer look, the dilapidated,
semi-abandoned property yielded up three more live greyhounds
in horrible condition and confined to the house, a Labrador mothering
five pups, a dead greyhound confined to a racing cage and the
bodies of at least 15 more dead greyhounds contained in huge freezers
with no electrical hook-up.
