Sounds bad, but whats that, between 4000 and 6000 dogs a year are culled. Still sounds bad .... until you look at what numbers of unwanted pets killed every year. All of a sudden the number of greyhounds killed is tiny, almost insignificant.

That's right, more than 250,000 EACH YEAR. So why is Baird killing the greyhound industry again?
