The Tasmanian government has announced that from 2029 (when the current funding deal expires) funding will cease for greyhound racing in the state. This isn't an explicit ban, but given the loss making nature of the industry, it's likely it won't survive without being propped up by the government.
This is great news, and the remaining states should follow suit so we can end this barbaric, cruel practice in Australia once and for all.

The long running Drake Inquiry into Greyhound Racing NSW is due to report back today.
The optimist in me thinks the findings will be that the industry did not learn from its dice with death back in 2016. That it will be found incapable of changing and becoming safe for the animals involved. That its death in NSW (and Australia) begins today.
The realist in me knows that the findings will be that there a few bad actors, and that the industry needs to change and needs to be given one last chance.

Greyhound trainers are leeches on society, try to change my mind.

Watching The Little Grey Film tonight. If you don't know a whole lot about the plight of #greyhounds in the racing industry in #Australia and across the world, I'd recommend you give it a watch - only 35 mins long. It tells a damning story as to what happens in the industry, and the control the gambling industry has on politics in this country despite what politician of either major party might say.

#Mastodaoine, here's a well-timed anecdotal follow-up to my earlier post about the email I'd really like you to send as part of the gov's public consultation on #AnimalWelfare and the surgical insemination of #greyhounds (even though it's banned for all other breeds).
This is not the international reputation we want to cultivate, right?

#Mastodaoine, please respond to this public consultation re. #dog welfare.
Surgical insemination of #dogs is prohibited for ethical and safety reasons given the risks (general anaesthetic, surgical incision, implantation).
#Greyhounds are the only breed exempt from this legal protection simply because there is a racing industry that profits from them and from unethical breeding practices.
