In Massachusetts, activists citing the mistreatment of dogs led an effort that resulted in voters banning dog racing on Jan. 1, 2010.
Vermont and Maine have outlawed racing. Twin River, Rhode Island's only dog track, is looking to end racing as a step in its bankruptcy reorganization. New Hampshire's two tracks ceased live racing earlier this year for financial reasons and Connecticut's last greyhound track shut its doors in 2006.
