oh dear oh dear oh dear. The dogs had been going so well with their integrity public relations exercises. That's just been shot to bits..... i was wondering why the job networks employment agencies bs story had been put back a week. The greyhound PR machine won't have the chance to dull the episodes sensation. Can't wait for the "dole bludgers" experiences to air next week. Shame Howard Shame.

This is the end of sport pretty much.
Never has so much of a sport been exposed. They have missed no one |

Deplorable in so many ways....
In just the 30 minutes i watched until my 12 year old started crying and I turned it off It managed to make the trainers look like illiterate, barbaric, lying scum from some backwater in the 1900's. Great job choice for the CEO who took bullets too |

Does anyone know if McDonald has had runners in the last couple of days?
Surely all these blokes are banned for life immediately? |
|
By:
must have been v. small incredibly well camouflaged cameras, because some of the shots from head height were from seemingly open spots inside the track and from fences facing the tracks.

McDonalds put them in his wife's name

By:
ffs
surely they just suspend all of his former runners from this minute |
|
By:
awful,horrible,disgusting shame on those people. but ask yourself why? its all about the punt, and gaining that slight advantage
if you trained greyhounds would you do it ? best ask old lance armstrong the same question. |

If that didnt hit u then something wrong.
I still feel down from it. I just purchased a Greyhound as well. Sam Toocan |

Thanks for watching 4 Corners, there are people that can never be publicly thanked for obtaining some of that vision.They know who they are |

My oldest brother trained a greyhound his first and only 40 odd years ago, got it fit nearly ready for a trial. Anyway took it over the local park for a live kill with a rabbit. His never been anygood on the punt and was worse with only attempt with the greyhound caper. Released rabbit to give it a head start, then whoosh goes the greyhound, sadly after about 50 metre dog steps in a small hole and breaks its foot, the dog had to be put down. Moral of this true story greyhounds dont always win.

showed up a terrible lack of stewarding over the years. It's likely that similar practices have occured at every trialling track at some time.
Time will tell what effect it has but the authorities need to proceed pretty quickly with charges, whilst lots of others breathe a big sigh of relief. |

I don't understand why they need live baits to get dogs to chase. I've never owned a dog that wasn't mad keen to chase a tennis ball. A couple of Kelpies I've had would go so hard for that ball they'd steamroller you to get to it. Propelling a possum into the air with the aid of a tennis racquet and getting them to chase him couldn't make them go any faster.

its a sad day for the dog game
shame on these people for bringing a great sport down |

Your right TKDM
They dont need these Live baits |

Many states in the USA have banned the dishlickers I think ?
TAB here has relied on them to fill up their Wall-To-Wall business model since privatisation. State Govts are ALL addicted to the gambling tax revenues !!!! Therein lies the source of the hypocrisy ..... |

A true representation of greyhound racing...It really is this disgustingly grubby.
Most don't go as far as possums with babies, but you will always find that special kind of person that will go to the next level regardless of what's involved and some actually are sick enough to get off on it and enjoy it. Some dogs end up so far off their heads from live kills that they would chase through brick walls and therein lies the advantage of doing such, no drugs needed. A constant flow of customers with "cash" money willing to pay for kills makes it a nice earner for bullring and trial track operators. That's not to mention there are fair amount of small timers on government benefits training the animals, it's a bit hard to work and race dogs :) |

Therein lies the source of the hypocrisy The other Hypocrisy is Eating bacon Eating chicken The best of all Thoroughbreds,Standardbreds and Greyhounds that never get to a racetrack or are lifetime maidens due to inability,numbers would be>than 5000 combined per annum,most end up as Joels can of Pal. Watching the footage of some well knowns i couldn't work out which were the PIGS. |

Joel did you provide the dogs with a can opener?

Four corners story is not going to change things, dog punters will continue to punt and the show will go on, right or wrong. State governments are not going to kill off one of their gaming golden geese and Four corners will continue as four corners. Four corners reporters are failed novelists sensationalising stories, thats their job and thats how they make profit....been going on for over 100 years. Personally never did like dogs from a young bloke....12 race program Olympic park with 20 mins between races multiply that by 1 pot per race equals 12 pots, its a sure way to become a alkoholic. Lucky .05 wasnt in then.

WTF is a pot?

a pot is what you get when you drink a lot of them kami....... could be described as a little schooner or mini schooner or even a dwarf shcooner. A giant glass around 285 millilitres just a bit too big to smuggle out of pubs and clubs wiwthout assistance from heavy clothing..
