CW: Greyhound Racing, Murdered Dogs
The word should be 'killed' or 'murdered', not 'euthanised'. And why was this 'Trainer X' not named? Prosecuted? Shunned by their sport at the very least?
So maybe Greyhound racing doesn't have to be horrible but it lets itself be that way. Seems as good a reason as any to ban it. Now on to consider every other aspect of human-organised competition and moneymaking..."It found that GRNZ had made significant progress reducing euthanasias, with 325 greyhounds being euthanised in the 2020/21 – 2021/22 seasons. 174 of these were euthanised at a single kennel belonging to 'Trainer X'. This licensed person was spoken with. Thereafter, that kennel only euthanised six greyhounds in the first two quarters of the 2022/23 season"

The long running Drake Inquiry into Greyhound Racing NSW is due to report back today.
The optimist in me thinks the findings will be that the industry did not learn from its dice with death back in 2016. That it will be found incapable of changing and becoming safe for the animals involved. That its death in NSW (and Australia) begins today.
The realist in me knows that the findings will be that there a few bad actors, and that the industry needs to change and needs to be given one last chance.

New Zealand 🇳🇿 will be prioritising passing laws to ban Greyhound Racing.
Thank you to our friends over in Aotearoa for having the guts and conviction and to do what the state and federal government within Australia are unable to do.
Pretty soon Australia is going to be the only country where this disgusting, barbaric practice is still tolerated. How cowardly and gutless of our politicians.

@grb090423 Same goes for greyhound racing. Shockingly the Oxford dog track, which closed in 2012, reopened in 2022. People think it's "fun" for a work outing.
