Greyhound Racing
Last updated 21 October 2020
In 2015, the live baiting scandal brought to light the plethora of animal welfare issues that are inherent to the greyhound racing industry. Since then, the industry has been under increased scrutiny from the general public. Unfortunately live baiting is but one of the animal welfare issues associated with this cruel ‘sport’. Over-breeding, euthanasia of healthy animals, injuries on and off the track, inadequate and inappropriate medical care, ‘disappearing’ dogs, lack of enrichment, doping, confinement and inappropriate international live export are all issues associated with this industry.
