Greyhound racing is a cruel exercise in betting on the lives of sentient beings. It’s past time to shut animal racing down.
We know that the racing industry perpetrates outrageous cruelty on animals in the name of profit. Animals made to race are often trained or made to run faster using abusive tactics. Outside of races and training they are routinely denied engagement and enrichment and, when the racing industry has no further use for them, they are discarded into or mass graves.
The Greens will ban greyhound racing, and rehabilitate and rehome all affected animals.
Our plan will establish a transition program for industry workers and impacted communities that will reskill industry workers and support them to find new jobs, resource impacted communities and repurpose racetracks for community benefit and rehabilitate and rehome all affected animals.
Will you add your name to back our plan?
