Labour Government Rejects Calls for Greyhound Racing Ban
A government petition exceeded its initial target of 10,000 signatures, prompting a response from the government regarding the call for a ban on greyhound racing.
This "sport" resulted in the deaths of 123 dogs and thousands of injuries last year, placing a significant burden on rescue centres.
The government has no plans to ban greyhound racing
The government's response cited several excuses for not banning the practice, which were deemed unsatisfactory and misinformed.
- The government considers greyhound racing a "well-regulated sport"
- The industry is essentially self-regulated, as "the industry marks its own homework"
Despite the government's decision, the fight to save dogs from this cruel industry will continue.
