Twin river is a bunch of crooks shut the whole operation down machines and all. They call this place a casino really I don’t see any craps tables just a bunch of crap on the dog track. The closing of this dump is about 15 years overdue

SHUT IT DOWN! Why do you think so many other states are finally closing their tracks?? The public is becoming aware of the cruelty and inhumanity in the racing industry…how greyhounds suffer and die for the sake of entertainment and profit!

That this era finally enlightened to eradicating and punishing animal abuses can still allow dog racing is unbelievable. Is there much difference between those who engage in “dog fighting” and those who promote dog racing? I cannot think of a single resulting difference. I know that my next adoptions are of retired racing greyhounds. Hopefully we soon see this adoptable population as an element of our cruel and unthinking past.

Shut the track down! It’s time we ended greyhound racing. That industry kills so many dogs that don’t make the grade, and has so many dogs break their legs when racing those tracks. Shut them down and save the dogs!
