BOSTON GLOBE SAYS “NO” TO RACING BAN – American Greyhound Council

Editors of the Boston Globe, the most widely read newspaper in Massachusetts, have urged the state’s voters to reject Question 3, the proposed ban on greyhound racing in the state.

The October 21 editorial said, "The Globe does not believe the evidence presented by Question 3 supporters rises to the level of abusive mistreatment that would justify shutting down a legal industry."

Noting that greyhound racing is well regulated in the state, with requirements for injury reporting and mandatory adoption of retired greyhounds, the editorial concluded, "Dog racing deserves a reprieve in Massachusetts."
