Dog racing is also inhumane in the US.
In a huge PETA victory, Florida (where most of the US's dog racing occurs) will ban dog racing by 2020.
Eleven tracks will close.

Shutting down the tracks will save thousands of gentle greyhounds from being caged for 22 to 23 hours a day, given performance-enhancing drugs—including cocaine—and forced to run to the point that many sustain broken legs, develop heatstroke, or suffer heart attacks. Dogs used for racing have incurred spinal injuries, broken necks, and crushed skulls, and some were electrocuted when they collided with electric fences. On average, one dog dies every three days on a Florida racetrack. Now, all greyhound racing will end in Florida by 2020.
