From the Paper:

"The use of animals of varying species has long been an accepted practice in all societies - from the oxen used to plow fields in India, to the use of horses in the American West, to the use of various livestock for food. However, the use of animals as entertainment, be it in bullfighting, bearbaiting, or dogfights is on the moral demise around the world, particularly in the United States. However, when it comes to the gambling-driven industries of horse and dog racing, there seems to be little stigma outside of animal - rights camps. This is wrong, particularly in the case of Greyhound racing - a form of entertainment that is so cruel to the animal that it must be abolished."
