The Greens are pretending to care about greyhounds' welfare, so they
want to close down dog racing. Winston is telling them to go take a
hike but will consider it later.
The thing is, dog racing is just a stalking-horse for the *true*
Greens' target, which is horse racing. If they can get any sort of
government buy-in to their hypocritical anti-dog-racing arguments, and
actually get it closed down, then they'll immediately redirect those
bought-in arguments to bear upon the horse racing industry which has
been their true target all along. Hypocritical Greens -- such a
surprise that commies are hypocritical, right?
Now I have no love for dog racing at all, I think greyhounds are ugly,
the sport is ugly and seedy, and I'd personally be happy to see it
disappear. However now it's unknowingly become an important defense
point for horse racing. It's better for the commies to throw all
their energy against the dogs than against their true target, the
horses. So dog racing should be defended for that reason.
