After what has been a bad year so far for serious racing injuries I wondered about what people thought about setting up a welfare fund to help with vet bills.  This could be done if the racing bodies who charge a membership fee donate a percentage of this revenue to a welfare fund I would like to think that this could be done without an increase to membership fees.  This in turn could help anybody whos dog suffers a serious injury at a open a little help with the vet bills.  It goes without saying that any racing body cannon't be held responsable for a racing injury and owners dont hesatate about taking their dog to a vet.  Any fund would of course have guidelines as it could not be expected to pay the vet bill full costs.  There will be of course arguments for and against.  For-it would help the welfare of our dogs Against-each dog is their owner's responsability.  I know that every time a serious injury happens racers usually have a whip round and this could still happen.  What are your thoughts.

I have bumped this like I said I would. It would be interesting to hear the views of fellow racer's who have now joined K9 since I posted this thread in 2003.
