COLLIER COUNTY, Fla -- A national rights group has renewed its efforts to eliminate greyhound racing in Florida.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals released new findings of animal cruelty hoping it will lead to big changes in the racing industry.

The ASPCA report details what activists call cruel conditions in the dog racing industry and they say it's enough to take the dogs off the tracks.

The report says thousands of racing greyhounds are confined in rows of stacked cages for 20-23 hours per day.

Ann Church, senior director of ASPCA Government Relations says, "what happens at one track happens at the next. Not much difference between them."

Izzy Havenick is the vice president of political affairs of the group that owns the race track in Bonita Springs. He says they only provide the venue for the dogs and he disputes the cruel conditions described in the report.

"I don't know if those conditions are the exception or the rule for people who own greyhounds," says Havenick. "We have a zero tolerance policy for cruelty of animals."

The report was also released in conjunction with a statewide poll that asked voters how they feel about greyhound racing.

ASPCA's research found 54 percent of Florida voters hold an unfavorable impression of the state greyhound racing industry.

Church adds, "there was an overwhelming dislike of the industry, that more than 76% feel dogs should be protected from harm of racing."

Havenick says those numbers aren't surprising. He admits the Bonita Springs race track has been losing money for awhile and he blames a state mandate that requires tracks to run races if they have other forms of gambling.

"For a while now, the Bonita track has run more races than any track in the state of Florida. So for us, a race reduction would be a blessing," says Havenick.

Both the track owners and animal groups agree decoupling should happen, they're just going about it in different ways.

Last year two bills came close to getting passed, but got stalled the last day of session. Church is hopeful the bill will get passed in the 2012 session.
