Added 2024-12-06 07:44:57 +0000 UTCHey guys,
Here's our new episode West Virginia Greyhound Racing. This is the second episode of our animal series.
In this episode, we explore the controversial and dying industry surrounding dog racing in West Virginia.
First we interview two activists, Carey Theil & Christine Dorchak, who run a nonprofit called GREY2K USA Worldwide.Then we get a tour of the largest greyhound kennel in the state, with the top dog of racing, Steve Sarras.
More to come. Hope you guys enjoy
Sincerely,
Susan

This is happening in horse racing , I think it would be an interesting opportunity for you. There is a population of migrant immigrant workers that live at the track, mental health issues, all kinds of interesting stuff. Would love to have you out as a guest to show you what's going on. Great stuff your doing for society.

2024-12-21 18:59:48 +0000 UTCThought this was about the bus line and a little disappointed. I think dogs love to run though. Nice video.

2024-12-15 18:13:21 +0000 UTCBro if he was giving his dog's chooch they would be dying of fentanyl like all the homies. Meth would be believable but what a waste of cocaine that would be

2024-12-15 00:04:59 +0000 UTCIt amazes me with all we have going on in the world, people are going to worry about dogs and rabbits. I'll donate money to the spca as soon as there are no more kids in cancer wards and St Judes shuts down.

2024-12-14 13:59:58 +0000 UTCAwesome content as always. Never ever thought I would be interested in West Virginia or even hear about this racing culture

2024-12-14 06:28:20 +0000 UTCI’ve been to the Orange Park track they cited in the cocaine investigation section. Horrible place. Glad it shut down for the animals sake and the people working there. Nobody looked particularly happy to be there—no sad music required.

FH Rainer Jahn
2024-12-13 08:53:16 +0000 UTCYou couldn’t be more disingenuous than the fake activist grifters that call themselves Grey2K. Truly, the banality of evil - pretend to care about something (like animals), but in practice just enrich themselves and hurt everyone around them, dogs especially, by lying and manipulating.

2024-12-12 07:25:18 +0000 UTCGreat video! I really appreciate the non-biased view you have that allows the viewers to draw their own conclusions. I feel like Steve was very genuine and a good dog owner, but I'm not sure how common that is in the Greyhound racing industry. However a counter point to that is why would they treat their race dogs horribly, wouldn't they want them to be healthy and strong to win said races? Looking forward to the next 2 parts, Keep up the great work!
John Tucker
2024-12-11 11:39:58 +0000 UTCRegardless if he's taking good care of his dogs, I don't trust everyone else involved in the scene to do the same. Animal racing should end just as animals in circus is ending.

2024-12-11 09:28:32 +0000 UTCWould cocaine actually help a racing dog's performance? That whole claim is super sus. If the claims of 70+ deaths per year is accurate, then that's a problem. But dog racing isn't inherently _bad_ for the dogs. It's the trainers and the breeding that comes out as a result that can have negative consequence. I think with proper regulations this industry could be totally humane.

2024-12-11 03:14:06 +0000 UTCOwner of 2 retired racing hounds from FL. Many greyhoud activist groups are pro racing. It needs to be heavily regulated and monitored of course - but these dogs LOVE to run. It also is a great life for most dogs. They race and live among their friends until 2-3 years then get adopted by a loving family. In FL virtually no greyhounds went unadopted. Dogs in animal shelters are in much greater need than greyhounds who live at kennels or dog tracks. The activists are liars and give off PETA vibes. Ultimately racing will be extinct soon though, it’s a shame. Retired racers make for the best dogs

2024-12-09 21:47:56 +0000 UTCI have working malamute Canadian Inuit dogs on chain tethers. Waiting to sled. All 7 have direct dealistivds I know of mismanaged in house and bite human, child or harm a dog because they're resource agressive. They chill out a lot you get them to pull a few hours a day. I had a pent up rehome one kill a smaller Alaska husky. I got a female who's mom put down bit a kid badly. Pent up mismanaged no work or purpose

2024-12-08 17:03:05 +0000 UTCEvery part of this video was incredibly surreal. The weird scripted vibe both sides had, the fact the whole feud feels so personal and has been going on for so goddamn long. I thought Blunderfield was as crazy as it could get😭Brockton always fights back babyy

2024-12-08 08:00:30 +0000 UTCUpkeep would cost a lot of money, only someone who appreciates the animals for what they were bred to do would undertake that cost

2024-12-08 05:14:01 +0000 UTCCame here to say the same very interesting wish this was covered more
Chris
2024-12-07 20:35:58 +0000 UTCSuper interesting stuff. Still loads of greyhound racing over here in the UK.
jamie medley
2024-12-07 20:06:16 +0000 UTCKind of shitty way to train, no?
Snarpsta
2024-12-07 17:52:18 +0000 UTCShocked to find myself siding against the activists here. That lady said “it’s quite a foolish idea because greyhounds are the second fastest animal on earth. They don’t really need to be tricked into racing faster.” Human beings are the best animal on earth at playing basketball. They don’t really need to practice free throws. I can see why these people haven’t gotten the races banned
Pat
2024-12-07 17:49:48 +0000 UTCYou gotta start posting all
Cameron Fields
2024-12-07 08:49:33 +0000 UTCfam I subscribed today and we all support and want these videos you need to start pumping all parts out all at once asap instead of making everyone wait and only posting sometimes shit make it 20 dollars for all we care my nigga start posting it try to make sure it’s long as possible your good real unbiased fire content
Cameron Fields
2024-12-07 08:47:46 +0000 UTCif we're lucky enough to even see those parts lol
Jack Shufelt
2024-12-07 05:40:25 +0000 UTCIt’s not. Imagine making your living off of gambling on domesticated animals
Floodo1
2024-12-07 01:12:09 +0000 UTCImagine choosing to earn your living by making money off gambling on dogs. So you keep scores of them in wire fence pens.

Megan thee Sheep
2024-12-07 01:06:58 +0000 UTCWow , a dog chasing a rabbit ... not in MY America 🙄
Laura Hayden
2024-12-07 00:55:32 +0000 UTCI have more questions. Steve claims the samples were human urine, but he also claims that he's never seen cocaine before. Not taking sides here, but I'm hoping part 2 or 3 investigates the UC Davis and Texas A&M Labratory results.
DW
2024-12-07 00:11:35 +0000 UTCSteve's greyhounds genuinely appear happy. A bit too happy...
DW
2024-12-07 00:07:07 +0000 UTCThe Greyhound2K couple seem shady. The cocaine test actually being human urine was too weird.
Michael Stegemann
2024-12-06 22:37:35 +0000 UTCIt's because people have dogs as pets, but is not different, is the same question of eating cow and not dogs. I'm not saying I will do any of that, or agree with any of that. Just putting the points of view to see the hypocrisy.
Dragoonz
2024-12-06 21:51:30 +0000 UTCit’s not. both are cruel and inhumane to the animals involved
cale williams
2024-12-06 21:07:34 +0000 UTCShe said "second fastest animal on earth" tho. That's the Cheetah

2024-12-06 20:50:05 +0000 UTCHow is this different from horse racing which is legal in most states?
Niek Nijland
2024-12-06 19:49:23 +0000 UTCThanks for covering this. It is a fascinating topic for someone running a nonprofit rescue organization.
Aubrey Whitten
2024-12-06 19:01:04 +0000 UTCCheetah is the fastest land animal. Not the second fastest. Greyhounds look like they are top 10 though. Lol
Jake Lake
2024-12-06 18:59:15 +0000 UTCThese people against the greyhounds seem like they are doing all of this for some form of political gain rather than any humanity. Greyhound owner seems like he cares for these animals though we all know there is probably some form of inhumanity in what he does. Polarizing views and I don’t know which is right.
Brian Stover
2024-12-06 17:51:42 +0000 UTCAnytime a dude like Steve starts spinning a yarn like that is a big red flag… over explaining as obfuscation is all it is.
Llllleeeee
2024-12-06 17:40:17 +0000 UTCLol greyhounds are NOT the second fastest animal on earth. The Cheetah is. I can't tell if she's lying, clueless, or just misspoke and meant to say dog
cloudy
2024-12-06 16:14:54 +0000 UTCWondering the same thing. Maybe it needs to be edited on account of the ceasefire and Hezbollah being deployed to Syria?
DW
2024-12-06 15:23:33 +0000 UTCIt's hard to know who to root for when the reporting doesn't pick for you.

2024-12-06 14:41:32 +0000 UTCAmerica loves tabloids and snake oil. Also a goodol' lawsuit ... you could be another face that I forget soon as I move along Everybody makes mistakes Am I mistaken for the way I carry on? You could show a little grace, but maybe things just went a bit too far We are just who we are No time for "what if"s and "what if not"s...
