This has already been discussed...and, yes, there is a plan in place. But because it was discussed quite a while ago, I can't remember the particulars of it....
If there were 10,000 greyhounds in MA that needed homes, once the tracks are closed, the need to place greyhounds year after year, from MA would end, once and...
