The greyhound race track in Macau — the only legal dog-racing track in Asia — no longer sees the excitement it did in its 20th-century glory days. The dogs that ran there on a recent Saturday were among the last to compete here before the track shuts down in July. Its demise, a closing that animal rights advocates say is long overdue, in part reflects the transformation of #Macau from a colonial backwater into a popular tourist destination for China’s fast-growing middle class. Angela Leong, who runs the racetrack company, has pledged to adopt all of the dogs or give them to friends. And the company’s website has invited the public to apply to adopt them. Animal rights advocates fear that the #greyhounds, most of which were imported from Australia, will be sold to illegal racing tracks, auctioned off to breeders or even sold for their meat. “We are concerned because if they didn’t care about animals beforehand, why would they care about them now?” said Albano Martins of Anima, an animal rescue group. He’s asking the government for permission to take over the kennels for a year to help find new owners for the dogs. @lamyikfei took this photo of dog handlers escorting greyhounds at the track last month.
