The greater majority get put down once their racing life is over at about five years old. Greyhounds live for about 15 years or so.
I accept that some will become domestic pets and I understand that they make very good pets but you never hear about the thousands that don’t get that chance. That side of the industry is kept a secret.

Quite true jambutty, a lot of them are put down about 2 years old because the are 'to slow', and also through injury that is likely to affect their speed. It is a disgrace and to my shame as a young man I was involved in greyhound racing as a trainer.
