The lawsuit went on to state that the ban deprived the greyhound industry of “substantially all economically beneficial or productive use of their property and return on their investments.”

The group argued that the measure, termed “Amendment 13” amounted to a “taking” of property under the Fifth Amendment. In October 2019, a group calling itself “Support Working Animals Inc.” sued Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Secretary of State Laurel Lee, and State Attorney General Ashley Moody over the 2018 ballot measure. The state’s final race was run at the Palm Beach Kennel Club on Dec. The state used to be home to 11 of the country’s remaining 17 dog tracks before the measure was overwhelmingly approved by some 69% of Floridians. Once considered “the mecca of dog racing in America,” a 2018 voter-approved ballot measure axed commercial greyhound racing in Florida. A move by the greyhound racing industry to have Florida’s dog racing ban declared unconstitutional was rejected last week by a federal appeals court, reported on Monday, Aug.
