Welcome to

Greyhound owners brought some of their racing dogs to the State Capitol today. They want lawmakers to require safety measures at tracks including covering exposed wiring that electrocuted a dog last November in Palm Beach. Crystal Carroll, the dog’s trainer,

says the death was needless.

“And so the race had ended and she followed the lure, which continued. She got in the rail and it electrocuted her. It was devastating to everyone who worked in that kennel. Absolutely devastating. She was there one minute and gone the next…for no reason”m said the near tears trainer.

Chrome, show here as a puppy, would have turned two in July. The owners also want break away arms for the lures dogs chase and better maintained track surfaces.
