200 ABANDONED GREYHOUNDS WERE RESCUED FROM GREENETRACK in Alabama when the management abruptly ended the live racing season. The rescue, estimated to cost approximately $30,000, was accomplished through the cooperation and financial assistance of a number of animal welfare and adoption organizations and the track management. There was no financial support from the official industry organization, the National Greyhound Association, or the industry organization formed to promote greyhound adoption and welfare, The American Greyhound Council.
