Dog Racing

Singapore now have horse racing, F1, casino, and if dog racing is included, it would nicely fit in the gambling landscape.



But a word of caution though. The Yat Yuen Canidrome in Macau has seen dwindling spectators. In its heyday crowds packed the Canidrome after it opened in 1931, but races were suspended six years later after Japan invaded China.
When it reopened in 1963, punters formed long queues to get through the doors, while ferries from Hong Kong arrived crammed with dog-racing fanatics.



The track's shrinking revenue causes some 300 to 400 of the racing dogs to be destroyed each year. And it is such scenarios that have animal rights group lobbying to have dog races banned.
Racing greyhounds endure lives of confinement, kept in cages barely large enough for them to stand up or turn around. While racing, many dogs suffer and die from injuries including broken legs, paralysis and cardiac arrest. The rest are "retired," in a more likely scenario, shot and destroyed.

In the USA only four states, California, Maine, Vermont, and Virginia, have banned greyhound racing. The greyhound racing industry breeds approximately 50,000 puppies each year. Of these only 15,000 actually become racing dogs.
