GREYHOUND ELECTROCUTED ON TRACK RAIL IN ALABAMA
Randad, dog No. 3 in the 14th race on June 21, at the Birmingham, Alabama dog track was electrocuted when he climbed onto the lure rail, which provides a function similar to a subway's hot rail. The dog was electrocuted by 230 volts running at 30 amps, and shrieked for several seconds before he was struck by the mechanical lure that had continued around the track, according to witnesses.
