Default Florida - Vote NO on Amendment 4

Urgent: Please forward immediately so we can reach hundreds of
thousands of voters with this simple electronic message.

VOTE NO ON AMENDMENT 4

This November Florida voters can do the right thing by voting NO on
Amendment 4, which would legalize thousands of slot machines at
greyhound tracks. If successful, the Sunshine State experiment would
create a blueprint for recovery and a means for propping up dying
racetracks nationwide. The fate of thousands of greyhounds would be
sealed in misery for decades to come.

*Every year thousands of dogs are killed when they are no longer fast
enough to be profitable. They are killed by a system that puts profits
first and racing animals last.

*While racing greyhounds face cruel treatment and neglect on a daily
basis.

*Veterinary care varies from kennel to kennel while dogs are forced to
perform throughout the year, even on the hottest days of summer.

*They are individually caged for up to 22 hours and fed the cheapest
meat available.

*Thousands of greyhounds are seriously injured while competing every
year.

*Thousands and thousands of young puppies are bred each year just to
race. Florida has more "farms" than any other state. Dogs who
don't show ability while training simply disappear from record.

*If Amendment 4 passes, millions of dollars in casino gambling profits
will be used to subsidize greyhound races. More dogs will be bred to
supply this cruel industry.

Every major animal protection group, including the Humane Society of
the United States and GREY2K, is opposed to Amendment 4 because it
would prop up a cruel industry. With your help, we can defeat Amendment
4 and send a powerful message to the dog racing industry that their
cruelty will not be rewarded!
