Marami naman paraan para magkaroon ng hanap buhay ang mga mamamayang Pilipino, wag naman sana sa pamamagitan ng ganitong negosyo. Libo libong Greyhound ang malalagay sa piligro pag hinayaan natin itong mangyari!

Napaka rami na ang mga asong gala sa ating bayan...Mga aso na wala nang balahibo... Mga asong buto't balat na lamang. Mga aso na kinadidirihan... Mga aso na iniiwasan sa lansangan ng mga motorista... Mga asong nagkakalat ng dumi sa lansangan...

Pero... alam nyo ba na sila rin yung dating aso na minahal at inalagaan dati nung sila ay bata pa! Nung sila ay cute pa...

Sa bayan ng San Jose Del Monte Bulacan, tuwing Lunes nag ooperastion ang bawat barangay, nang huhuli ng mga asong gala sa lansangan. At pag dating ng Friday 3pm kapag wala tumubos ay kamatayan ang nag hihintay sa kanila.

Tutulan po natin ang House Bills 5291 and 5648

Bakit kinakailangan natin mag simula ng isang ganitong uri ng negosyo dito sa ating bansa kung saan ito ay kasalukuyan nang sinusuka ng ibang bansa? Talaga bang tapunan na ang ating bayan ng mga pinag lumaan na ng ibang bansa.

Isa na itong masamang panaginip ng ibang bansa na nais na nilang kalimutan! Bakit pa natin ito kilangan umpisahan?

Take note that there are two (2) bills being passed (House Bills 5291 and 5648)--- one of which has already been transmitted to the Senate and is being sponsored by Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr.

As of today, there are already 7 senators who promised to vote against this bill. They are:
1. Sen. Chiz Escudero
2. Sen. Gringo Honasan
3. Sen. Pia Cayetano
4. Sen. Miguel Zubiri
5. Sen. Jamby Madrigal
6. Sen. Rodolfo Biazon
7. Sen. Manny Villar

Thank you very much senators!

Their entertainment means the suffering and death of millions of animals... It all comes down to pain and suffering. Not intelligence, not strength, not social class or civil right. Pain and suffering are in themselves bad and should be prevented or minimized, irrespective of the race, sex, or species of the being that suffers.

We are all creatures of these planet and non-human animals experience sensations just like we do.
They too are strong, intelligent, industrious, mobile, and evolutional.
They too are capable of growth and adaptation.
Like us, first and foremost, they are earthlings.
And like us, they are surviving.
Like us, they also seek their own comfort rather than discomfort.
And like us, they express degrees of emotion.
In short, like us, they are alive.
Most of them being, in fact vertebrae, just like us.

As we look back on how essential animals are to human survival; our absolute dependence on them for companionship... food... clothing... sport and entertainment... as well as medical and scientific research.

Ironically, we only see mankind's complete disrespect for these non-human providers. Without a doubt, this must be what it is... to "bite the hand that feeds us". In fact, we have actually stomped and spit on it. The time has come for each of us to reconsider our eating habits, our traditions, our lifestyles and fashions, and above all, our way of thinking.

So, if there is any truth to the age-old saying, "What goes around, comes around", then what do they get for their pain? Do we even give it a second thought? If what goes around comes around, what do they get for their pain?

They are earthlings. They have the right to be here just as much as humans do. Perhaps the answer is found in another age-old saying and one equally true: We reap just what we sow. So of course, animals feel, and of course the experience pain. After all, has nature endowed these wonderful animals with well-springs of sentiment so that they should not feel or do animals have nerves in order to be insensitive? Reason demands a better answer. But one thing is absolutely certain: animals used for food, used for clothing, used for entertainment, and in scientific experiments and all the oppression that is done to them under the sun they all die from pain. Each and every one. Isn't it enough that animals the world over live in permanent retreat from human progress and expansion? And for many species... there is simply nowhere else to go. It seems the fate of many animals is either to be unwanted by man or wanted too much.

We enter as lords of the earth bearing strange powers of terror and mercy alike. But Human beings should love animals as the knowing love the innocent, and the strong love vulnerable. When we wince at the suffering of animals, that feeling speaks well of us even when we ignore it, and those who dismiss love for our fellow creatures as mere sentimentality overlook a good and important part of our humanity. But it takes nothing away from a human to be kind to an animal. And it is actually within us to grant them a happy life, and a long one.

1. Behind all the sugarcoating and fanfare, what you have is not entertainment or a path to great wealth. What you have is simply another form of gambling. There is already the lottery, sakla, masiao, sabong, dog fighting, horse fighting, horse racing, and other street corner games. Filipinos need Greyhound racing like they need a hole in their head. Enough is enough.

2. What we have learned from the American experience is that people who bet on dog races are mostly the people who cannot afford to lose their money (those who collect and live on their social security and pension). The Filipino rough equivalent would be the laborers, low level office workers, street vendors, etc. The poor will get poorer.

3. Greyhound racing brings down real estate values. Race tracks are located in relatively depressed areas, and the upper classes who reside in upscale communities will never allow a race track in their neighborhoods. Race tracks will ultimately become eye sores.

4. Owners inflate the number of jobs filled at the race track (The Wall Street Journal). This gives the semblance that Greyhound racing equals progress. In truth, people avoid jobs at the tracks because of their inherent hostility and cruelty to animals.

5. Owners and trainers are not doing the Greyhounds a favor. Greyhounds are not naturally predisposed to racing. They have to be taught and trained how to race. They do not love to race, contrary to what the industry will tell you.

6. Hundreds or thousands of dead dogs will be a health hazard. The Hampton Union reported in September 1996 that " hundreds of dead greyhounds reportedly buried in the 1970s across from the Seabrook, New Hampshire dog track were speculated to be the cause of E. Coli bacterial contamination recently discovered in the town's water supply. " Two wells were permanently closed.

7. Doping is an alleged practice in Greyhound racing, but there are many cases that prove it. Dogs are routinely drugged to improve their performance. Doping includes cocaine. Drug use at the tracks can easily lead to drug use in the community.

8. Serious injuries to animals are the norm. At the Dairyland Greyhound Park in Wisconsin alone, 462 dogs broke their legs in 2007. Greyhound racing injuries include cardiac arrest, spinal cord paralysis, crushed skulls, and broken necks. Many dogs die on the track.

9. In Massachusetts, a race dog is injured every every three to four days.

10. Dog racing entrepreneurs claim that their dogs' best interests are in their heart. However, in reality, dogs that generally stand thirty inches high are kept in crates that measure a mere 32 in. X 41 in X 34 in. And they live in it for 22 hours out of the 24. And these crates, with the dogs in them, are stacked like they were boxes in a warehouse. The dogs are fed inedible beef. This is hardly the best for the dogs.

11. Let us be upfront about it. The disposal of retired dogs, slow dogs, sick and injured dogs will consequently turn to the dog meat trade. Can you truly expect profit-driven business people to spend money on expensive euthanasia when dealing with thousands of unwanted dogs? An estimated 20,000 dogs are killed yearly.

12. The practices of Greyhound racing will almost always run afoul of the provisions of the Philippine Animal Welfare Act of 1998 (RA 8485) and the Anti-Rabies Act of 2007 ( RA 9482 ). These two laws form the foundation for a more humane Filipino society. Greyhound racing will constitute a blight on the growth of animal welfare in the Philippines at a time when the country leads Asia in that respect. China and Vietnam do not have a single animal welfare law.


Alam na naman natin na hininto na ito at ipinagbawal na sa ibang bansa dahil sa mga masasamang epekto nito. Di umubra ito sa ibang bansa, kaya ngayon dito nalang nila gawin yung mga mali nilang gawain? Ganon na ba kababa ang tingin nila sa Pilipinas?
Tapunan ng mga napaglumaan nilang kalokohan?

Bakit kilangan pang subukan ito sa atin? Madami nang mahirap na Pilipino, bakit tuturuan pa ng panibagong sugal? Personal interest lang ito ni Sen. Revilla Jr., wag naman sana tayo magpaloko.

Lest we forget we are the only Christian nation in southeast asia tapos tadtad tayo ng Gambling of all sorts.

Like in any other country masarap ang buhay ng mga aso na yan habang nasa running career pa. After that (hindi ito matagal bago mangyari) trash na ang mga yan. Either brutally killed (because euthanasia is expensive) or left to stray on the streets para magutom at magkalat sa kalsada. Sa tingin mo ba Bro may halaga pa sa kanila ang mga yan kung alam nilang wala na itong chance na manalo? I don't think so.

Dito sa bulacan every friday more than 20 dogs are killed by means of euthanasia (most humane way to kill a dog).

Why? Because it is the law, unclaimed and animals beyond cure from diseases are put to sleep.

Lahat ito ay di kasalanan ng mga aso. Kasalanan ito ng mga irresponsible pet owners. Mga tao na kumukuha ng tuta, todo alaga kasi cute pa. Pag lumaki na pinapabayaan na gumala gala sa kalsada ang mga dating minahal na hayop. Grayhound Racing will only worsen the situation.

With regards sa employment na sinasabing ibibigay nito, di ako naniniwala. Tulad lang ito ng ibang gambling, purely for entertainment lang ng mga sugarol and most of all profit lang ng mga mayari at nung isang magaling na senator natin.
Yes meron tayo horse racing at sabong? Pero di pa ba sapat yun? What's next? Cat racing?

Dito sa amin napakarami ang mahirap, mga pamilya na dating naka tira sa manila na ni-relocate ng gobyerno ng iba't ibang administrasyong nag daan at ng kasalukuyan. Most of them gamblers kahit isang kahig isang tuka, walang umasenso sa kanila.

Tama, wala ako pakialam kasi pera naman nila ang ginagamit nila sa sugal at dun sila masaya. Ang sa akin lang ay most pathetic na excuse yung sabihing para sa employment ang isang sugal.

I am not against gamblers, I am only against the idea of introducing another gambling to the Filipino people and the idea of "it is ok to treat animals cruelly because they are inferior than us!".
