Thank you, Conservative MS
@AltafHussainSWW
for calling for a ban on greyhound racing in the Wales today. Cross party support in the Senedd to end this cruel sport is fantastic!

EDWARD EM, black greyhound almost 4 years old, listed as "BrokeDown" did not finish (DNF)
@TheValleyTrack
on 4 April. Is this how you talk about a living sentient animal? Cut the secrecy & lies about welfare being top priority. Publish injury data and vet reports for all dogs

LIBERTY BLUEBELL knocked over

in 16.18 race today (Chl3-BBmp&KO4, null(DIS)). Even with just 4 dogs in this race, track still not safe. WG & our Senedd Members can stop this abuse. Last week Connecticut became 43rd US State to ban dog racing. Wales needs to show

Something like 40% of dogs seriously injured aren't involved in falls or similar incidents. Many develop stress fractures & other musculoskeletal injuries. Here's DOGS ANONYMOUS finishing last 07/01/24. Didn't run again for 91 days until trialled

what will happen to the large number of dogs removed from Brock's unlicensed kennels? Were any of these dogs raced at the Valley? These were allegedly injured or "retired" dogs. But at least one dog dealer also admitted storing dogs with Brock because the

Lots of collisions as usual
@TheValleyTrack
. SWIFT WOOZY fell on the 4th bend in 16.44 race (SAw,Crd&Fell4, null(DIS)). GLASSMOSS DUTCH listed as “Stopped” on 2nd bend of individual 260m trial, just days after clearly injured or unwell in race on 30 May. Is the track vet asleep?

What no award for your "exemplar" Valley track, which owner Dave Barclay admits wasn't safe when you licensed it? Industry "self-regulation" in action. Dogs fall like skittles at that track. Only a ban will stop greyhound abuse.

14.42 race clearly shows dogs running on waterlogged track covered in standing water. GBGB guidance clearly states that racing should be abandoned in these conditions, but as usual Valley track ignores welfare risks to dogs.
