  • 1A Dog's Life Greyhound racing is a strange industry. Millions and millions of dollars each year are bet on races that are over in a flash. And for too many of the dogs, if they're not fast enough, their lives are just as short-lived. A 3rd Degree investigation can now reveal what becomes of those dogs, and why this industry needs to wake up to the moral dilemma it’s creating; breeding too many dogs, and killing them young and in vast numbers. 3rd Degree has also received information about healthy dogs that are being culled and disposed of. Not just older dogs, but young ones that are not fast enough in the first place. Now, footage obtained by 3rd Degree raises questions not only about the property at which it was filmed, but the whole industry.
