THE DOG BAN LIVES. Supporters of legislation to outlaw greyhound racing in New Hampshire are optimistic they can pass their bill on the House floor even if it emerges from the House Local and Regulated Revenues Committee without a recommendation. During a lengthy committee executive session Tuesday, proponents offered an amendment to clarify that the bill would not apply to horse racing at Rockingham Park. Another amendment moved the effective date back a year, to January 2011. After several votes, no clear consensus emerged on what to do with the legislation, and the committee session will continue (weather permitting) today. An alternative bill that would have given the two remaining greyhound tracks the option of taking bets with or without live racing was soundly defeated by the committee.

I would like to think New Hampshire voters and legislators will not be fooled. But, I thought Massachusetts voters were smart enough to do their own research as well. Boy was I wrong.
The N.H. track owners better more proactive than the Mass track owners were if they are going to preserve the status quo.
For the record, I agree that the conditions for the dogs at the New Hampshire tracks are horrible. The responsible thing to do would be to advocate for increased oversight and tightly regulated policies like those that exist in Massachusetts. Why not focus efforts and resources on this?
New Hampshire residents: Be sure to contact your representatives and tell them not to be fooled by these extremists who went so far as to protest fish and chips being served at the New England Aquarium!
