Florida to ban greyhound racing, horse racing is next

[spaheaven]

If greyhound racing is cruel, why isnt horse racing?  Nobody's whipping greyhounds around the track...if greyhound racing goes down, horse racing is doomed in florida.

[The Exporter]

No. not horse racing but, maybe harness racing.

I just voted, the last amendment in FL was a question on banning dog racing. I believe it will pass easily.

Unfortunately yes

The entire dog racing industry in Florida is going to get screwed based off the minority of assholes that abuse animals

And unfortunately amendment 3 will pass giving voters the power to vote on casino gambling
We see how well that is working out in New Jersey

[Refusedtopace]

I agree, 3 is a yes.

[Equus Caballus]

I agree, 3 is a yes.

I was being sarcastic

How about #13- the one on dog racing?

It is sad that the current casinos find away to pass the same bill in every state to make sure they don't have competition.   Letting the people decide is such a simple con to stop gambling expansion. 

If it is about the dogs, ending racing does what for the greyhound breed.  How long before they are extinct?

its close to impossible to take the vote away from the public once granted

[The Exporter]

The state and all other states is about managing the numbers. Not people. So, if one entity (dog racing) is barking up the wrong tree, it will be replaced by producing entity, like casinos.

Amendment 13 has passed

Amendment 13 has passed

More proof why I call people in Florida slow blinkers.   Saddest thing about liberals is they move to nice places and then bring with them their views that ruined where they are from originally.  Florida is an example of this with people moving in from left wing countries and the northeast.  Traverse city Mi is fighting it with the people moving their from Chicagoland.

Can't wait for decoupling to start!

Can't wait for decoupling to start!

What a horrible person you must be. Why leave doubt when you can share your thoughts and let everyone know.

this vote on the dog tracks being eliminated passed, so they are being phased out by 2020. anyone know what this means for the spiffy card room at Best Bet Jacksonville and others?


my prediction is by 2025 only Gulfstream Park in Hallandale ad Tampa Bay Downs in Oldsmar will be the only 2 racetracks in operation.

 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.
