Question 3 proponents up with new ad statewide

The group backing Question 3, the measure that would eliminate dog racing in Massachusetts, is up with a new TV ad that is running statewide through the election on Tuesday.

The ad is the Committee to Protect Dogs' second TV ad and is running statewide on all broadcast channels in Boston, all broadcast channels in Springfield and on cable in both the Boston area and western Massachusetts, according to the committee.

"It is cruel and inhumane," the ad's narrator says. "Thousands of greyhound dogs endure lives of terrible confinement. They are forced to live in small cages barely large enough for them to stand up or turn around for at least 20 hours a day."

The ad also claims that more than 800 dogs have been injured dog racing since 2002 and 19 dogs died in cages in just one month.

"Question 3 will phase out greyhound racing in Massachusetts," the narrator says. "It's time to stop the cruelty. Vote for the dogs. Vote ‘yes' on Question 3."

Check out the ad below and click here for the group's first ad.
