In one year, the Macau Canidrome killed nearly 400 of its greyhounds. That was in the racetrackâs heyday. Now, the track, which is still home to about 650 greyhounds, is shutting down. What do you think will happen to them then?
Hundreds of the dogs at the Macau Canidrome came from Australia once they were no longer able to be raced on Australian tracks. Once they arrived, they faced truly dire circumstances. The canines are usually kept in poor conditions and forced to endure scorching temperatures. Many suffer from serious ailments that are left untreated.
Currently, activists are asking the government to step in and force the racetrack to relinquish the dogs to a local rescue organization where they can be rehabilitated and adopted out.
