A Pinellas County greyhound-kennel owner has filed a lawsuit against the State of Florida because of the dog racing ban that was approved by voters last November. The lawsuit asks a judge to order the state to pay damages for the loss of value of property, including racing dogs that the plaintiff said could previously be sold for up to $50,000. Amendment 13 will shut down Florida’s greyhound racing industry on December 31st, 2020. The lawsuit was announced Monday by the Florida Greyhound Association, an industry group that fought the constitutional amendment. The lawsuit does not try to overturn the amendment, but asks for damages.
