People have asked me, how can you love greyhounds and NOT SUPPORT Grey2K. I've told them because Grey2K does nothing for the dogs. They are a political action group... lobbyists. Well, Grey2K has given me other reasons to not support them... reasons that are despicable. Recently a Grey2K BOD member commented, "Middle class, educated, white people don't go to bet on the dogs". That comment leads me to believe that the BOD member believes that betting on dog races is an activity that is engaged in by either the poor, the uneducated, and/or minorities, but not "middle class, educated, white people." Very, very distasteful...
However, that same BOD member followed up with this gem, which is most insensitive, most distasteful, and very vile. She compares dogs being crated as follows, "it looks like Auschwitz". It makes me want to get sick. It trivializes the millions of deaths, the attempted extermination of not only the Jewish people, but also of the Roma and anyone who opposed the Nazi regime: the Poles, Slavs, and POWs, just to end a sport that they do not like. How vile can they get? How low can they go?
Disgusting!
