Today, I received an email, forward through at least three different people before it made it to me. It is important, so I'm posting it here, as is (with perhaps a little formatting).

The greyhound track in Plainfield, CT voted on April 26th that they would discontinue greyhound racing. Unfortunately - and heartbreakingly - they've also decided that rescuers have only two weeks to get the dogs out, and any dogs remaining at the track on May 14th will be euthanized.
