NEW ZEALAND LAWMAKERS have announced that the greyhound racing industry will be banned, citing animal welfare concerns and the “unacceptably high” number of injured and dying dogs.
“This is not a decision that is taken lightly but is ultimately driven by protecting the welfare of racing dogs,” Peters said in a statement.Advertisement Greyhound Racing New Zealand said hundreds of trainers, breeders and industry employees now faced losing their jobs. The Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds has documented hundreds of deaths and tens of thousands of injuries on Australian tracks over recent years.
A shrinking number of tracks still run greyhound races in Ireland, Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
