In 1014 AD the English Forest Laws stated that, only noblemen could own greyhounds.
To kill a greyhound was punishable by death.

In Ireland there is no penalty for killing greyhound racing in fact you will probably be rewarded with a substantial salary, company car, expence account and a government backed pension. Any knowledge of greyhound racing will not be required.

Also in medieval Britain no greyhound was allowed to reside within ten miles of the king's hunting grounds, such was the fear that this elite hunting breed would decimate the kings private stock.
Sir Joseph Banks had a greyhound on board the Endeavor for the sole purpose of hunting for food once Captain Cook made land.
Yet in the last few years,we are now being ordered to turn this ancient hunting breed into a 21st century domestic pet.
May as well try and re invent the wheel while we're there.

Already been done, Trevor.
It's called "The Gravy Train Wheel."
Plenty of money to be made from them too.
You'll find most are square shaped.
