"This industry is responsible for the unnecessary deaths of anywhere between 13,000 and 17,000 healthy greyhounds a year," the internal GA report stated.

Not sure what the stat would be for cows being slaughtered in first weeks of life, but leysy would guess well into the hundreds of thousands each year.

Guess away. I was asking in regards to a specific quote. Do you think it's "normal" for a quarter of pups born to die in the first week of life? Having been a registered dog breeder for many years, as well as breeding farm dogs, and being involved in the dog sport world and being friends with numerous breeders I call piffle on the claim.
Yeah not condoning destroying greyhounds at all. Nor the treating of animals that came to light from parts of that industry this year.
Just interesting that other animals i.e. cattle where slaughtering at a very young age in far greater numbers occurs isn't brought into question.
We choose not to bet on greyhounds and knock the industry but are happy to drink milk or eat steak.

I have bred about 20 litters of greyhounds and unfortunately one or two pups do die in the first week of about 6 or 7 pups.
the mum sometimes deliberately kills one and sits on it, or one is a runt, or one is simply not getting to the tit as quick as others and getting bullied out of it.
Its life.
yes, i have had a litter of 9 and all survive great....but also had a litter of 12 where 10 died after the mother wasnt producing enough milk for all, surrogate mother got called in but they died.
what im saying is those stats are misinformed...people just think 17000 are killed deliberately.

That shouldn't be "life". Sounds like a fair bit of negligence to me. Sad really. Responsible breeders wouldn't let their puppies starve to death. They weigh them every day and constantly monitor them to make sure the runts and those being bullied are helped to get a drink.

it is called into question by many. but this is a thread to discuss greyhounds, hence posters are discussing the unnecessary cruelty involved in the greyhound industry.
