It is safe to assume that some of the dogs’ owners may opt to move some of their dogs to the five remaining states that still have dog racing. There is Greyhound rac- ing in Mexico as well. By mid-2019 we should have more information about which Florida tracks are closing when, and what the dogs’ owner might end up doing with them. Each dog has its own owners, so it will be up to them, not the track, to decide whether and how they are put up for adoption. “There are hundreds of Greyhound


adoption groups waiting to take them,” said Dorchak.“This issue wasn’t a Republican or a Democrat thing,” said Dorchak. “It was a dog thing.” Stephen Wells, executive director of


the Animal Legal Defense Fund, issued this statement after the election: “For decades the Florida legislature failed to protect Greyhounds abused by the racing industry. Today, voters made a historic choice to make Florida a more humane state. Amendment 13 puts an end to the cycle of cruelty that victimized Greyhounds in the state for far too long. These social dogs will soon be able to retire and enjoy running on their own terms, without being forced to spend most of their days in cages or being drugged to enhance their performance.”
