When trainer Ronald Williams surrendered 8 severely underweight dogs to the Emerald Coast chapter of Greyhound Pets of America, GPAEC notified officials from Florida Department of Pari-Mutuel Waging.  An inspection by officials on October 29, 2010 found 32 dead greyhounds at the track, and 5 live dogs in horrific condition with duct tape around their throats.  You can see photos of the dogs at the bottom of our page.  WARNING the photos are graphic.
The decomposed bodies of 8 additional greyhounds were found November 1, 2010, dumped below a bridge along Highway 20 in Walton County, just west of Ebro and only yards from Williams' residence.

Ebro Greyhound Park general manager Mark Hess stated the welfare of the animals was "solely" the responsibilty of the trainers.  Ebro Greyhound Park's season ended September 25, and all animals are supposed to be relocated to another facility or surrendered to an adoption agency. 
No inspections by Ebro officials have taken place since the end of the racing season September 25.

This scandal has generated a storm of media coverage across the Florida Panhandle:
