Greyhound racing is where they take greyhounds and they race each other, because greyhounds are the fastest dog breed in the world. They have very long legs and a thin body wich makes them go fast.

Do greyhounds race with a muzzle?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, it i compulsory for a greyhound to wear a "racing muzzle", these are wire and light as opposed to plastic "box muzzles"
Answer:Yes, Greyhounds race with muzzles on, not to keep them from fighting, or "going after" one another, but to identify which greyhound won the race.
If you have ever seen the end of a race, you can often have a group of greyhounds at the front, and can be difficult to determine just who won the race. The muzzles help with identifying which "nose" crossed the finish line first.
It also helps protect their long noses from injuries in case they fall.

Whats the is the value of a greyhound racing program signed by Pete Rose in February 1989?
Asked by Wiki User
== == A Pete Rose signed Greyhound program would be compatible in price with an 8 x 10 photo at about $30.-$40. Prices will vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Signatures that are not properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.
The bulk of the value will rely on the signature, and how well the Greyhound program displays the signature. The condition of the program is as important as well. Because of Pete Rose's connection to gambling, the signed program could have added value.
Pete Rose signs autographs for a living, and is often found in Las Vegas doing so. There are plenty of Pete Rose signatures on the market to go around, keeping the value down.

What is the worst thing about greyhound racing?
Asked by Wiki User
Racing isn't cruel, but if you ask me the worse thing, it's probably the injuries a greyhound can, get. I'm not saying they do, as it's very unlikely, but when they do it often causes them to retire. I do want to make it clear that this is very unlikely.

Why can't greyhound racing be banned?
Asked by Wiki User
It is possible it can be banned, but it is not cruel. Most greyhounds love to race, and if treated properly while trained and raced, they are healthy and perfectly happy. I know a greyhound trainer who has around fifteen dogs, has trained about 300 and has only had one retire due to injury. As for the dogs who don't enjoy it, they will probably not race well and be retired as a family pet. The simple answer is it can be banned, but there's no need to.
