Friends,

Today, Massachusetts state senators extended simulcast gambling, including greyhound simulcasting, for six months. They passed this extension as a temporary measure, with the understanding that they will fully debate simulcasting, along with casino gambling, later in the Fall.

We are disappointed by this action, but will continue working until all forms of gambling on greyhound racing end in Massachusetts. With your help, I know we will eventually win this important victory for the dogs!

We would like to also thank Senator Pat Jehlen for fighting for the greyhounds today. Please take a moment to send her a short thank-you e-mail, and let her know how much you appreciate her efforts. Senator Jehlen can be reached at patricia.jehlen@masenate.gov.

For the greyhounds,
