Oh dear, isnt this a suprise, the "industry" want the 2000 greyhounds per year scrapped. i said it when it was announced that the baird govt was backflipping in the ban we would see nothing change, back to the old ways ASAP!

then comes the dodgy figures to show they are not killing healthy dogs i bet, oh this one has crook teeth, best put him down, ok.

on a bright note, at least others in the world are waking up to this 'industry' and doing something
