Dog racing is losing favor in the United States, in part because of increased awareness about inherent cruelties in the sport, and mistreatment of animals at many of the nation’s tracks. Leading the way in advocacy is Greyhound 2K USA, a nonprofit coalition that recently helped to bring about an end to dog racing in Massachusetts. Christine Dorchak is president and general counsel of Greyhound 2K USA, and she joins us from her home in the Bay State. Plus, guest host John Katsilometes announces his plan to go vegan this summer for a blog series and Emily discusses Archie’s recent weight loss. Also, there’s a guy near Emily and John’s office who scares people with a lizard. Web: www.thepetcast.com E-mail: [email protected] Voicemail: 702-997-3300
