Maybe we can buddy each of them up with a wild burro, as a sort of exercise in liberal compassion. Our local wild burro herd should be 200-500 -- it is currently over 8,000.

As Paul Harvey might have said, there's always a "rest of the story". My daughter is a veterinarian who is now on her second adopted greyhound rescue. Yes, the dogs spend a lot of time in cages, but even without a cage, they spend about 22 hours a day laying on their bed watching life go by. So it really wouldn't matter much to the greyhounds I've seen in their bed was in a cage or in the middle of your living room. In fact, when my daughter would leave for work, her dog preferred to be caged up.
My daughter was undecided on the amendment. Yes there could be fewer greyhounds after racing stops. But a good number of the current racers will be available for adoption, and as people see them more and more off of the track, it may be that the demand for pet greyhounds will pick up.
A couple things to keep in mind. They're bred and trained to bolt through a door as it opens. Once outside, you'll get tired a lot faster than they will. Keep a firm grip on the lead if your neighbor goes by with her Maltese. You can see the greyhound go into targeting mode. A Maltese pretty much looks like a fluffy rabbit to a greyhound. YUM!
I'm reminded of the time the animal-rights crowd succeeded in banning lion hunting in Africa:
