greyhound race tracks

Greyhound racing is a popular sport in Great Britain.
In the UK greyhound racing is part of the gambling business, similar to although far less profitable than horse racing. There's a big debate regarding the well-being of the dogs. A greyhound adoption movement has arisen to assist retired racing dogs in finding homes as pets.

"Chumbei no exame por incomunicação. O meu gato morreu. Estou incomunicável com o exterior.
Contigo hoje: incomunicação. Tudo à minha volta incomunica. Não me dás o apoio que eu preciso. Eu, não sei mais transmitir nem interesse, nem apoio, nem tão pouco palavras.
Resumo: não há comunicação. Não percebes que o modo como te trato quando estás mal, é exactamente a maneira como eu desejo ser tratada. Para rir qualquer um serve. Para chorar, ninguém está aqui ao meu lado."

“I’ve failed the exam for non-communication. My cat died. I am cut off from the world.
With you today: non-communication. Everything around me non-communicates. You don't give me the support I need. I don't know any longer how to show you interest, support, or even words.
In short: there is no communication between us. You don't understand that the way I treat you when you are unhappy is exactly the way I wish I am treated. To laugh everyone is perfect. To cry no one is here next to me.”
