Seriously, Rachel Merton NSW Liberal MP? Wentworth Park Greyhounds “is part of the cultural fabric of this city”. The abuse of dogs? The broken legs and spines? The deaths? Racing’s doping, child sex offences, violence as revealed in NSW Parliament? Maybe your culture, not ours

Meanwhile in #politas @TasmanianLabor asserts there has been ‘no evidence’ of cruelty in #Greyhound Racing. Isn’t it simply staring them in the face every day in footage like this?
The old Traralgon track was one of the nation's deadliest. The replacement track held a trial "picnic meeting" on 23/3. Mikado Jewel looks injured. Vienna Maestro & Perfect Pete bounced off each other and then hit the rail. GRV refuses to disclose if any injuries at the "picnic"

Gunnedah NSW just now, horrible fall for "Lumeah Taylor". Brutal, predictable, inevitable, animal abuse. Day after day after day. The censoring of footage by GRNSW is inconsistent and often makes no sense. This replay is currently missing from the GRNSW website. Replays of races

This is a damning assessment from someone who has seen the industry at first hand. Time to end this gambling-fuelled dog-killing industry.
Dr Alex Brittan: "From my professional and ethical standpoint, this industry operates at an unacceptable cost to each greyhound. Confined in conditions far below those of most family pets, they receive inadequate socialisation and poor nutrition and are condemned to

When will we stop this barbarity. We all have a part to play.
#politas #GreyhoundRacing. Ask yourself what sort of politician goes out there day after day to not just defend this but actually actively promote it. And obvs if you believe the deaths and cruelty magically end at any state border, then you will believe anything.

Today's the day we can finally end greyhound racing in Scotland, for good. Dogs like Kaas - and countless others - deserve so much better. We're now at the final hurdle. It's time to get this over the line. https://t.co/5a6SlLZjkc
