Tracks with card rooms now, can continue to operate them, even when they choose to stop dog racing. It is up to each individual racetrack when they choose to stop the racing.
What a horrible person you must be. Why leave doubt when you can share your thoughts and let everyone know.
Im a horrible person because I don't think failing businesses should receive welfare from the government to stay afloat?
i bet more dogs are misstreated in bad homes than at dog tracks
I also would be willing to wager that no one will follow what happens to these dogs when the tracks close.
Whatever you logic, you are hoping for people's livelihoods to be taken away. The money doesn't come from the government unless you consider the ss checks lost in slot machines as from the government. Do you cheer for farmers to lose their subsidies too?
Yes. Government has no place picking winners and losers. if you had even a basic Economics education, you might realize this too. Unless, of course, you turned out to be a Keynesian.
Your point would apply in basic economics but this isn't basic economics. The gambling market is highly regulated and controlled by the government. Once they introduced slots to the track owners, they crippled horse racing. Still today they control what kind of games they can offer when stand a lone casinos are allowed to be vegas style casinos.
Wait a second, harness racing was thriving before slots were introduced? Give me a fucking break.
