It has been reported, MANY TIMES, and nothing happened to these people. That is because all on the top know it is going on, and the 40 caught were just the unlucky ones. The RSPCA needs evidence, police wants evidence. If the 1st bit of footage was handed over, it would have been 1 trainer; and it would have been said he is the one bad apple etc. If police would try to raid, by the time their cars would get from the gates to the track somebody would have killed the animal used for bait and it is NOT illegal to blood with dead animal.
But do not worry, the industry will not close down, hopefully they ban for life those who do these sort of things, and the sport will be just little bit better for it. I would have thought that any greyhound owner who does not allow his dogs to be trained that way would be pleased that other dogs will not have unfair advantage over his?
obviously someone in the committees or in enforcement in the greyhound clubs was tipping them off.Hopefully we will get rid of all the bad ones.

All Greyhounds that compete should have a level playing field and the best on the night should be so through
no outside/illegal interference).
Those trainers and owners that committed those cruel acts don't want to play by that level playing field and
should be banned/barred for life,(that should include not being able to set foot on any Greyhound track or
training facility and they should not be allowed to own or have shares in any racing Greyhound).
IMHO any Greyhound that is confirmed as being "blooded" should be stood down for a period of no less then
three months.

EXACTLY!I agree 100%.The people doing this should be banned for life.But all they did in the case of one leading trainer was transfer the dogs to his wife.In my view she should not be allowed but the problem then is she will sue and argue she has done nothing.They are letting the dogs involved race as a leading owner threatened to sue if his dog does not start.Race is worth $145,000.00. The problem is someone in the club who is invoved in inspecting tracks at random is tipping people off.
If they have done many many raids and found nothing then someone is dirty and that is obvious so they need to rethink how they organise raids.

Then they have to change the rules and state that any facility involved in these cruel acts can not have any
racing Greyhounds on site.

Hopefully the public will then boo them if the dog wins as they are cheating,(and they will forever be known
as a cheat if the dog wins).

Temporarily suspend the lot of them and then have one person in charge who can call in the rest of them
without telling them which track they are going too.

They may meed to bring in an outside team that has nothing to do with the racing aspect,

They may need someone from outside the industry to look at the aspects such as the live baiting and other
dirty/illegal practises.
There is a problem and it needs to be fixed.
