50,000 innocent hounds at 109 remaining tracks worldwide need your help right now! Please sign and share our petition to help generate individual emails to the leaders of all commercial dog racing countries.

There are twenty-one countries in which dog racing occurs but may or may not have reached a commercial stage. When considering whether the racing of greyhounds qualifies as "commercial," we look at several criteria including whether a law has been passed that authorizes gambling on the speed and/or ability of greyhounds, the existence of a regulatory structure, the physical presence of racetracks, evidence of gambling, whether the host state or subdivision shares in any gambling proceeds, fees charged by host locations, the use of professional racing kennels, the number of dogs participating in races, the existence of an official racing code, and membership, if any, in a greyhound racing federation or trade association.
