dog racing question (contains spoilers)


Spoiler warning;



When Joe feeds Celt the meat, is it drugged or is just eating something enough to throw the dog off the race?

reply

Probably drugged. This is a popular method used in both horse and dog racing to help the animal either win or lose the race. This is especially prevalent in Great Britain, cocaine being the drug of choice. On another note, several years ago, a pit was discovered where 6,000 greyhounds were buried, after being destroyed when no longer used for racing. Ex-racing horses are being abused, as well.

aperantly they chop the ears off, so no one can see what tattoos they have, and shave out the microchip, so no on can link them to their owner

well ages ago i was watching a program about horses ( it think) and they were bing feed stuff, to make them lose cuz of all the waight i think, but it was a long time ago and i dont realy remember.

what i do know is, if a dog runs around alot after eating, the stomache can twist on itself, causing bloat
