Just found this absolutely priceless quote on AOL:
The RSPCA said that for many years it had concerns about what had happened to thousands of greyhounds after their racing careers had ended*Falls off chair laughing bitterly*
For many years the RSPCA has ignored the problem completely - and kills more greyhounds in its 'care' than any other breed. Their reasoning? The breed is 'unrehomable'.
I had this from our local inspector, but she'd never go on record to say it.
Please go vote in the poll - it's just a poxy little AOL thing but with all the media kerfuffle at the moment you never know, it might help.

They'll shoulder their way to the front and insist they've been trying to get something done. And shove out the people who've actually been working on the problem for years. *Grumble* Hate the lying bastards.
