Greyhound Racing Taken To Task As The Government Announces A Review – SAFE NZ

The Government has just announced a review of the greyhound racing industry, following reports from SAFE, Greyhound Protection League and Grey2K USA Worldwide of ongoing cruelty within the greyhound racing industry. In the announcement, Minister for Racing Grant Robertson said he is not satisfied the industry is improving animal welfare, and Greyhound Racing New Zealand has failed to provide sufficient information on changes they are making. Should the review show that progress has not been sufficient, a further fundamental look at the greyhound racing industry may be required, said Robertson SAFE CEO Debra Ashton said she’s encouraged by this announcement.

Using animals in entertainment like this is pretty archaic in this day and age, animal rights group SAFE NZ chief executive Debra Ashton said. The report had 20 recommendations for sporting body Greyhound Racing New Zealand to implement. Those recommendations included improvements to the sport s transparency and record-keeping, ramping up inspections of kennels, and stopping so many dogs from being euthanised, by looking to rehome them instead. Racing Minister Grant Robertson said he was unhappy with how the sport had been tracking.
