We have a “rescued” greyhound from Florida. My wife thinks greyhound racing is terrible. I try to tell her that if racing were banned, there wouldn’t be greyhounds to adopt.
Greyhounds can make great pets. In the bad old days, owners would just “put down” their unwanted racers. Now most tracks have adoption programs. You can get a pure-bred dog for not too much money.
I have a friend who owned a greyhound and raced it. He pampered it endlessly. To this day, he carries a picture of the pooch. Greyhounds like to run.
IIRC, 60% have to vote in favor of ending it for the amendment to succeed. There are many undecideds currently.
