Documents Expose Slaughter Of Greyhound Dogs By Their Owners In 2008

E-mail And Memo’s Confirm Owners Use Euthanasia For Dogs Who Can’t Race Anylonger...by Jack Swint
.
"As far as the injuries, five of those dogs are older and they are all males. Put them down..." . E-Mail excerpt from Dean Miner to Lance Berland in January 2008.
.
Intro
.
In prior stories, this author provided witnesses that stated how the family run greyhound racing business of WV Senator Earl Ray Tomblin uses live bait to train their dogs. Now, we know it goes much deeper then the Tomblins. Much higher in who is involved and more brutal then ever imagined. Murdering of dogs that can’t earn anymore money racing! And we have the evidence, and in their own writings.
.
Tomblins kennel operation is just the tip of the iceberg to the hidden inner-workings of the Greyhound Racing Industry. And you won’t want to believe how another WV State Senator, a board member of the National Greyhound Association and a VP in state level greyhound breeders associations are all involved.
.
For The Love Of The Game
.
During months of research and association with local and national greyhound level members, and their dogs, I’d never considered what all transpired before and after the dogs raced around the tracks after placing a bet. Now I do. Two things have occurred in my life since then, I grew to both admire and feel compassion for these godly creatures that only want to be loved. And will do anything to receive it. Even die!
.
I also quickly became outraged at what I saw firsthand and learned directly from owners-breeders and trainers to how these dogs came to be involved in the most brutal sporting event since the gladiators of Rome, in a fight to the death. All Greyhound pups are very loving, playful and one of the most loyal and happy dogs on the planet. But, after 6 to 8 weeks of basic killer training in the backwoods area’s like Texas, West Virginia and Oklahoma, these same loving adorable animals become focused with one goal in mind… Chase down and KILL their target.
.
Sadly enough, these streamline aerodynamic creatures don’t know any better. For the love of their master, they endure a life filled with abuse, certain injury and a probable painful existence and demise. Just so their owners can make a small fortune at the racetrack.
.
Retirement By Euthanasia
.
Sometimes it takes a bad guy to catch one….Back in 2008, this author was asked to look into allegations that the WV racing commission was not legally dispersing monies due to the greyhound members. That expanded into other problems ranging from corruption to legal feuding between kennels and fraud.
.
In late 2008 we received a packet of information that contained reports, memos and e-mails between WV owner-breeder Dean Miner of "Miner Racing Team" and Kansas owner-breeders Vince and Lance Berland. Together they formed a WV kennel company on August 28th, 2003, known as "Flying Eagles - Miner." Miner lives in Wheeling WV. In fact, the information came from one of their own employee’s.
.
While recently working on the below segment concerning live bait training for a new story, I found e-mails and memo’s that were previously overlooked in the volumes of paperwork received. What was discovered were actual e-mails and other correspondence between Dean Miner, Lance & Vince Berland that shocked even me beyond belief. Horrified is a better word and I felt Id heard and seen everything unbelievable.
.
It is solid proof, in writing, that greyhounds are subjected to death just because they become older and outlived their usefulness to make money. Dean Miner also portrays his personal feelings and beliefs about greyhounds by calling them outdated "03 and 04 models" like a vehicle. Outside of the orders to kill at least seven dogs in the e-mails, Miner also states that one dog is "just a cheap little dog that made us a lot of money"….
.
Here is one of those e-mails…. Sent, January 26th, 2008 at 20:39:14 from Dean Miner to Lance Berland... "Lance: We’ve gotten killed in the last 10 days. Flying McGrath sprained a hock winning AA. Maloy broke a hock last week. Tarragon a hock tonight…doneeuthanasia. Flying Ace and Flat Out Harley; Kay Dancemaker broke bones in his foot. Doves Augustus off limping today in AA." On Sunday January 27th, 2008 at 11:005 PM came the reply from Lance Berland... "As far as the injuries, five of those dogs are older and they are all males… Put them down if they cant be expected to return to racing….."
.
Just the mere fact these two men are even thinking (and putting into an e-mail) of killing these animals for non life-threatening injuries and or health issues shows the uselessness the dogs have in their owners eyes when they can no longer earn their keep. I personally never witnessed a greyhound being "put down," but Ive seen firsthand what little effort it takes for Dean Miner to make the decision to do so.
.
Note: Below is a link that details these types of injuries that are sprains or fractures in the dogs legs or "hocks." These type injuries occur often in the racing industry and are very painfull, but not life-threatning. Please read it. You will not find any terminology that even hints that you should "put them down" or treat the injury by using "euthanasia." Anyone who thinks this is an isolated incident or that this is the only kennel that murders greyhounds for nothing more then an excuse that the dogs can no longer race is a complete fool.
.
And, if you think winning dogs aren’t trained using live bait, you’re fooled again.
.
Hauling Dogs To Hell And Back
.
In 1978 the NGA outlawed the use of live bait to train greyhounds. In fact, they say, "industry members who violate this practice may be expelled from the sport for life." Well, lets test that theory… Greyhounds are constantly on the road being hauled across the US. Over the years, there have been to many hauling accidents to mention here. Not only are greyhounds killed and injured when any hauler has wrecked, but also maimed, killed and become deathly sick while being shipped to and from racetracks, breeding and training. Some locations they are hauled to aren’t on any map or racetrack brochure you will find.
.
One such place, is a secluded training farm for pups that uses "live bait." It is in Oklahoma. Many well known owner - breeders in West Virginia send their dogs for the 4 to 6 week boot camp, depending on how long it takes to instill the killer instinct needed for racing. Training a dog to routinely chase down a defenseless animal and maul it to death can take some time.
.
WV State Senator Mike Green, pictured to the left, has been in the senate since 2006 and the greyhound industry since at least 1998, has used this trusted location with his former racing partner Harvey Maupin. Maupin, is also the Vice President of the WV Greyhound Breeders Association. Senator Green and Maupin ran"Green-Maupin Kennel" until 2008. How do we know this, Maupin said so. (links below to their former WV business liscenses.) How could these high profile owner-breeders trust that their dogs would be illegally trained with live bait, and in complete secrecy?

Because, the man doing the training has more to lose then anyone if he is found out. Sam R. Burdette, President of the WV Greyhound Association & the 2009 Vice President of the National Greyhound Association is that trainer. How do we also know this? Maupin admitted to it. And, this author spoke to Burdette in Oklahoma in 2008. At the same time, longtime trainer-owner Paul Carbenou and Greyhound Racing expert and consultant Don Dodd, also confirmed it was occuring in 2008. Even though the Green-Maupin Kennels in WV had their own training farm, they couldn't use live bait there because of laws against it, and Senator Green’s image and reputation.
.
According to WV state law 61-8-19(b)… If any person intentionally tortures, or mutilates or maliciously kills an animal, or causes, procures or authorizes any other person to torture, mutilate or maliciously kill an animal, he or she is guilty of a felony. For the purposes of this subsection, "torture" means an action taken for the primary purpose of inflicting pain. When we say live bait, that includes everything from chickens, cats, raccoons, ginnie pigs, shoats and baby piglets.
.
Burdette, who's home is in WV, spent most of 2008 at his training facility in OK, living in a small one-man trailer on the isolated property now owned by his former wife. Besides training his own dogs, Burdette also trained greyhounds for others as a way to earn a living. He can not dispute the fact that he was there and the training took place. But, it is assured all of the people who sent their pups there will deny the use of live bait. That leaves just one question to ask.
.
WHY, would anyone need to send his or her dogs from WV to Oklahoma for training? The total cost for out of state expenses would be very high. Or, maybe it is so no one will hear the live curdling death screams of a live animal running through a coursing field, and or in a bag hanging on a mechanical device called a "whirligig" which goes around in a circle and the dogs chase it to maul the animal to death.
.
Note: At the time of this writing, there is no evidence, nor were there any allegations that Burdette, Maupin, or Green have ever been involved in the killing of any greyhounds like reported in the above Miner and Lance Berland e-mail. Only the use of "live bait training." The truth is, greyhounds leave West Virginia as loving, innocent and vulnerable pups on a journey that is brutal coming and going, but more so, in between where they become introduced to the taste of blood.
.
Bottom Line
.
The entire greyhound racing industry has to be stopped in the United States and abroad. It is barbaric, inhumane, condoned and participated in by state politicians like Senators Tomblin and Green, who are directly involved. Next are the elected officials within the greyhound association along with influential and successful businessmen like the Dean Miners and Berlands in the industry.
.
Miner said it best in one of his handwritten faxes to Lance Berland in 2008. "Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered." He also said, "Integrity is not something you have a month at a time." How can anyone even think that this industry will ever change its treatment of these dogs? How can it when the people who make the laws and policies are the main ones violating them? And, directly benefiting from the sweat and blood they extract from the greyhounds themselves.

Congratulations to the people of Massachusetts for putting and end to this cruel sport!
. 
Massachusetts voters sided with the dogs as Question 3 - which will ban commercial dog racing in Massachusetts by 2010 - was passed by a 56% to 44% margin. The passage means that commercial dog tracks will be required to close by January 1, 2010. The Greyhound ProtectionAct (also known as Question 3) calls for commercial dog racing to be phased out during 2009, in time for the January 1, 2010 deadline

As we have all seen on IRONICUS MAXIMUS, greed breeds greed and no education or talent needed.
In fact, what must exist is a "criminal mind". How else can one stand the screams of baby pigs, ducks or rabbits, torn to death for the sake of making a "killer" at the Racetracks. The bigger the "killer" the more speed. It is probably for this reason the criminals of Greyhound Racing use drugs to further enhance "the chase".
All these men must be locked up for the sake of our children and society. None of them care for anything but crimes.

I have just read your article, Jack, and after the added info about the broken legs, hocks, toes, whatever, these dogs have a nightmare existence, period!
I am sick to death with the cruelty of the Greyhound Racing Tracks and I do not care whose name is in red and blaring in blood from all your greed and perversions. You all are being put on notice as of TODAY.
Furthermore, if it is true that any of you have bothered Jean Dodds, you all have one hell of a price to pay. Too bad you didn't take care of your wounded Greyhounds which was YOUR responsibility. It would have ended up being a lot cheaper than what is coming your way. And forever.

Here's a 2008 list of injuries and deaths of racing greyhounds in Arizona. (PDF)

http://www.grey2kusa.org/pdf/G2K-2008AZInjuryTable-060909.pdf

Although there are statutes in AZ that say every effort must be made to save the dog, nobody plays by the rule. Dogs are put down for routine broken hocks and "other". Whatever the hell that is.

AZ is even more corrupt. The state doesn't receive any pari-mutuel taxes on live handle racing or simulcast.

They are only involved in the "live bait training" of dogs in OK.

I don't know what Washington is doing, permitting this to go on. If they don't think all this is going to come back and bite them in the rear, oh, so wrong they all are.
Unless, of course, there are TOP politicians involved, in which case, they are all finished as evidence has been mounting for years.
Bryant Gumbel documented the abuses years ago. So did Alabama 3,000 slaughtered.
NGA has known about this forever and that is why they try to remove themselves but "follow the money". They are in deep with their hands full of blood and killings.
Dummies with grade three are not ruling the flock. The big power-punching sleaze balls are driving the trucks. And those trucks lead to "THE KILLING FIELDS OF CHAPMANVILLE , WEST VIRGINIA".
It's not just JACK SWINT that knows what's going on. Millions have known but now we are mobilized and we will end this shame.

Tried to leave this earlier. Swint e-mailed me a pdf copy of one of the e-mails that clearly shows Dean Miner and Lance Berland talking about killing dogs because of minor leg injuries. And because the dogs were getting to old and that they were male dogs.

We are merely going to "expose" them, dear. It is just as simple as that.
Because they leave their trails of bones and blood everywhere, that is the easiest part. The only tough part is that there are so MANY dirty politicians, we have to make sure there are enough spaces in cells, for all of them. Of course, some turn very, very swiftly. Others, who are more arrogant and never believe they will GO to jail, are the last to cave. That is really quite perfect as those are the ones that are truly the most viscous and they are the ones who will STAY in jail.
It will work out just fine. Trust me.

Jack,

Who paid you for your latest blog ?

West Virginia News said...

Stan, truth doesn’t cost anything....


Funny you should ask now.... I got copies of some interesting "PM's" and memo's that mention Dean paying you to write positive stories on the greyhounds, and giving you great tips from him and Lance on what dogs to bet on.

One comment, "he'll be getting a few bucks of mine at the window."

Seriously, seems you were using "dogness" on global greyhounds back in at least 2008. You had some interesting conversations with Lance Berland. "Lancer."

Also, something about making some bets for Dean Miner against his own dogs?

So, I guess I should be asking you??? Who paid you for the latest stories???

Chris Carpenter said...

Seriously...is this all you can come up with??

Have you ever been to this secret training farm that you describe? Since live bait training is not only against NGA guidelines, but also against the law in ALL 50 states, why haven't you reported it to the proper authorities? And dogs are sent to OK and KS for training for a couple reasons: the largest concentration of farms, the birthplace of the NGA, and cheap, flat land. The training expenses far outweighs the hauling fees, so it makes no sense to base where a dog trains on the cost of getting there.

Have you ever seen a young greyhound, before they are sent to training? They have EVERY BIT as much prey drive before training as after. It's called INSTINCT-something that 8,000 years of selective breeding has imprinted permanently on their DNA. You can't do much of anything to train that in or out-only slightly alter it to follow an oval instead of a field course. Oh, and ever actually seen a whirlygig?? It has a piece of scented pelt on it, not a piglet in a bag. Seriously...you have a pretty fantastic imagination-you could make millions as a fiction author!

And who says that greyhounds turn from "loving adorable animals" to bloodthirsty killers after 6-8 weeks of training? I certainly hope that the retiree currently lying between my legs and the one with his heg draped across my shoulder-the same place they have slept for the past five years-don't recover from their "bloodthirsty" amnesia anytime soon-I'll be in big trouble!!

Next time, get some facts. It helps when you attempt to write an "editorial" (and I use even that term loosely) to be able to hang it on at least a couple actual, real truths.

This response is to CHRIS CARPENTER’S comments above.

Thanks for your concerns. Let me assure you that the authorities have been contacted. We provided credible sources who corroborated what we wrote. And, that the admission of live bait being used in the OK facility was admitted to by one of the breeders who sent their dogs there.

Yes, I have seen many young greyhounds, I think I also said that in that story. I have also been present when they returned and were on the track for the very first time. And I stood several feet away from them and was able to watch their behavior.

I am glad you have two greyhounds, that they don’t race, and that they are comfortable enough to sleep with you.

But what bothers me about your comments is this. It seems like you intentionally forgot to mention the e-mails that referred to Dean Miner and Lance Berland killing dogs for no other reason then they cant race anymore.

You also forgot to mention about the comments by Dean Miner that are on record how at least these two owners feel about their dogs. “Just a cheap little dog that made us a lot of money.” …

And it appears you also don’t want to request a copy of those e-mails-memo’s etc or you would request them.

You seem to believe everything that does not reflect what actually goes wrong in the racing industry. You don’t believe there is anything like "live bait" training. It does exist, and we featured one former owner-breeder, Paul Carbenou, who described what he witnessed at Earl Tomblins farm in a former story we published.

Please, actually read the story, and others we have written about greyhounds and the industry. Then you will see that we have thoroughly examined the facts. And provided evidence, and provided a way for you to receive copies of those documents.

Low profile is the way to go, but then again, you are all so arrogant, it's perfect.

Chris Carpenter said...

It's amusing to me that most people that post on here do it under the cover of anonimity. Now why is that?? Oh, and the last comment...how's Asheboro treating you, Doug?
And no, I didn't touch on every single point in the article, because frankly, I assumed it would be edited or deleted anyway.
Do I want to see emails sent between two people that I don't know. Uh...sure, send them to me if you want. I don't know Vince, Lance or Dean. If the emails 1)do exist, and 2)are real, then so be it-like I said before, if there is anything unethical or illegal going on, report it to the authorities instead of blabbering on about it in a blog.
And regarding the live bait-it probably does exist. But once again...you missed the point. IF you have seen it, then do something about it. If not, which it's pretty clear by your article that what you "report" is just hearsay, then shut up. You gave absolutely NO REFERENCES to your claim, and even in your rebuttal a few comments above, you could only site what one other person told you. Yeah...that's credibility in a nutshell right there.

West Virginia News said...

Mr Carpenter. If that is your true name? Its just as easy to make up a name as it is to use anonymous.

Once again, read the story. More then one person attested to the live bait training in OK. Three, and that is confirmation. One, Harvey Maupin, is the VP of the greyhound breeders in WV. He sent his dogs there.

At least now you admit the abuse does occur.

Bottom line, if you dont like what your reading, dont read it. I didnt drag you to this website and say, "here, read this."

It appears you are just someone who likes to dispell everything that doesnt fit into your own narrow minded ideas. And that is your decision and right to be that way.

And no, we dont edit anyones comments.

Once again, thanks for your comments. Personally, I like it when both sides of the problem voice their opinions.

Sam, I don't know you from Adam. But I do appreciate your stance and conviction behind it-I don't agree with it, but you have held a respectable position in this discussion. Others on here, like Doug (if you want to know who I am talking about, you can email me) who is, of course, posting anonymously, do nothing to add to the discussion-just as most of the ridulous posts made to this topic.
Are there bad folks in racing? Sure. There are bad apples in every walk of life. But you do your best to get them out of the industry, not to dissolve the industry they are in.
I also find it hard to believe that EVERY SINGLE PERSON that has any authority to enforce animal cruelty laws is corrupt. Sam, you don't have to call Senator Tomblin if you think something's going on-you can call your local deputized animal control-it really is that simple. You also make no mention of your efforts to halt live coursing in OK-or are they all corrupt too?

What the article doesn't mention is that the track veterinarians are complicit in the lack of treatment of these great dogs. And that the American Veterinary Association turns the other way while its members willfully engage in veterinary malpractice & abuse. The racing industry doesn't treat these dogs like athletes but like cannon fodder. And adoption groups maintain their silence because the industry has told them to shut up or lose access to the dogs.

West Virginia News said...

Whoever wrote the above comment that information needs to be included on the veterinarians role in this industry is correct.... Stay tuned in the next week or so for that story.

Surly you jest, you all beleive that all these dogs are raised in this manner. I'm a dog breeder, and let me inform you that, yes such abuse takes place, but it is isolated incidents. Where as putting the dogs to sleep that can't run, yes thats true, but only if those dogs are severly injured, and are dogs that 1) Wouldn't be adopted, 2) Couldn't function, and live thanks to the injury, and 3) Where the dog is unable to move in anyform. Also on the remark (made in one of the comments) that we all resemble KKK members, saying we carry a bible in one hand, and a gun in the other. Where as you are the ones who are refering to everyone involved in the buisness burning in hell. Also, on the mention of the BURDETTEs, they are nice people, and should be left out of your hateful banter. And finaly about the dogs becoming "Bloodthirsty monsters" out in the farms of OK. This is very untrue, I handle these dogs, young and old, on a daily basis, and can assure you that they are not aggresive at all.As for the sending them to OK for training, its because the farms in WV are mostly mountain areas, and would be difficult to contain all of these dogs. And they do not send them there to kill wild animals, trust me I would know.

TJ said...

To "C.C." above. Yes, the Burdettes are good people, but, in a very bad business.

There are plenty of training facilities in WV. Has nothing to do with the mountains as you claim.

Dogs are killed for a lot less then serious injuries. But, you are right that dogs are put to death because they wont be adopted. They are also put to death because they are to old and or male.

And, your comments just solidify why the racing sport needs to stop, the "njuries!!" Every dog is seriously injured at some point & time during their racing careers. Injuries that would not have occured if they were not in that industry.

C.C said...

Not true, most dogs do not see serious injuries, and most go through their racing career just fine. And the reason for most of the dogs injuries isn't the breeders, its the condition of the track, you see. The tracks sand, and how pact down it is has huge impact on the dogs feet, and it the track is of low standerds, then you can expect a large amount of injuries. Also, many breeders transfer dogs out of a track, that has seen a significant number of broken legs, untill the track is fixed to better conditions. Thanks for actualy giving a real comment by the way, not one of those off the wall your going to hell comments

Anonymous said...

You answered my claims, why even subject these dogs to being injured. No matter whose fault it is, the tracks, trainers, breeders etc.

They are still going to be injured and it is uncalled for.
