I do not feel that dogs lives should be paying for the selfishness of humans. Simply put I think that rather than banning dog racing all together and harming the economy, they should have been giving stiffer fines to the tracks / dog owners. When it comes to owners who have a track record of abuse, make it illegal for them to own any dogs and or enter them in races at tracks. I do not and never will condone animal abuse. Kat,

I know I could use the extra cash, and I know Massachusetts doesn't. I was surprised that Q2 passed, but I think it is for the best. The criminal justice system doesn't need to be clogged with such minor charges. Better off using the resources to focus on more serious crime. I am personally happy dog racing has been banned. The tracks have until 2010 to change their business model, so it isn't exactly time yet to worry about foreclosed homes, lost jobs, and failing businesses. There is time for people to find work in more reputable and respectable fields. I am not sure why Q1 didn’t pass either, that one surprised me.
