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.

Tasmania government to end funding for greyhound racing

The Tasmanian government will end its funding for greyhound racing in the state by 2029 the ABC understands, effectively winding up the industry.

New Zealand 🇳🇿 will be prioritising passing laws to ban Greyhound Racing.

Thank you to our friends over in Aotearoa for having the guts and conviction and to do what the state and federal government within Australia are unable to do.

Pretty soon Australia is going to be the only country where this disgusting, barbaric practice is still tolerated. How cowardly and gutless of our politicians.

We're a day early, but oh well.

It's these two puppers' first Christmas, and they're unsure about it right now.

Remember that greyhounds (at least in Australia) are exclusively bred for the racing industry. Every single pet greyhound you see out and about is a survivor of an irresponsible and immoral industry.

Which is why despite these two being three and five years old, they've probably never had a Christmas before.

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

Is #MonDog a thing on the #Fediverse? Well, have some Monday doggy shots.

One thing you probably don't know about me is that I'm quite vocally and passionately anti-greyhound racing, something that may start to come up a little more often on my feed.

Here are two of my babies, Waffle (black) and Tim Tam (brindle)
