See http://tinyurl.com/PeterboroughLeaflet for info about serious injury and slaughter of dogs racing at Peterborough. Sadly, many more fatal injuries have occurred there since the leaflet was produced.

In addition to the appalling injuries to racing dogs that occur all too frequently at stadiums like Peterborough, it must also be remembered that these tracks are each responsible, on average, for the deaths of over 400 greyhounds per year, because of the demand they create for these dogs to be bred and subsequently disposed of.
