    abstract = {Sociologists have been slow to turn their attention to ‘blood 
sports' involving animals or activities where animals suffer neglect 
and abuse. Although there seems to be a heightened sense of public 
contempt in many countries toward the outwardly cruel treatment of 
animals such as dogs, and toward the place of animals in 
‘sport' per se, the ways in which racing greyhounds may be 
enmeshed in wider formations of sports-related abuse and violence 
continues to be ignored. In this article, data gathered on greyhound 
abuse in the North American racing figuration are examined in the 
process of understanding the social chains of interdependence 
necessary to perpetuate ‘tolerable' deviance against the dogs. 
Using central tenets of figurational sociology, patterns of neglect 
and abuse are discussed and conceptual typologies of the main 
‘players' in the greyhound figuration are outlined. },
