As stated I disagree with cruelty, then again these days there are humans in cages bludgeoning each other.
I am not sure why people try to correlate animal cruelty and racing of animals. There is the easy task of aligning a minority as in every part of life with the dark side.
Its obvious they believe animals should live a life of luxury. The reality in nature many animals will eat each other alive.
I don't believe a racehorse was born to just eat grass all day or a greyhound would not run fast to get food. Born to run by evolution (aka God) is my theory.
My definition of cruelty is leaving animals alone all day in homes, and then pretending it ok take them for a bit of a walk. In our local waterhole even ducks swim in pairs.
I relate to the opera of horse and greyhound racing without the hysterics.
