Dogs play an important role in our lives, and deserve to be protected from individuals and industries that would do them harm. It is wrong to treat them in a cruel manner.

At three commercial racetracks in New Hampshire thousands of dogs endure lives of nearly endless confinement, kept in small cages barely large enough for them to stand up or turn around for long hours each day.

Also, hundreds of dogs are seriously injured each year while racing, including dogs that suffer broken bones and paralysis.

You can help end this cruelty.

A bill now pending in the state legislature will amend the state animal cruelty statue to phase out commercial dog racing over several years.

Please contact your state lawmakers today. Tell them about this important humane law, and ask them to vote for the dogs.
