NO MORE CHANCES - Greyhound racing must be outlawed.


An explosive report brought to light by the Animal Justice Party coming from the former Chief Veterinary Officer of Greyhound Racing NSW has made damning claims of thousands of dead dogs, welfare issues, and over-reporting of rehoming numbers.

The report confirms that nothing has changed since this industry was briefly banned in 2016, and it needs to be shut down now.

How many more dogs will suffer and die in this industry before Government takes action? This dangerous industry has had too many second chances.

Sign this petition and tell Premier Chris Minns & the NSW Government that they need to shut down the NSW greyhound industry.



More Information

A previous attempt to ban greyhound racing:

Eight years ago in NSW, we were on the brink of something amazing. After being shaken to the core by a Four Corners expose, an Inquiry was launched resulting in the damning ‘McHugh Report’: overwhelming evidence of “systematic animal cruelty”, from mass killing to live baiting, racing deaths, injuries and mistreatment.

The Inquiry found that in the past 12 years, up to 68,448 dogs were killed because they were “unsuitable or too slow for racing”, as well as 7,000 healthy puppies and young dogs who never even made it to the track.

In the face of such incontrovertible and horrific evidence, then–NSW Premier Mike Baird announced the end of the industry. It was a remarkable (albeit short-lived) act of political integrity and decency. But no sooner had he announced the ban that the industry moved into overdrive.

The Labor opposition killed the ban and embraced the industry, and today, eight years on, the greyhound racing industry seems more entrenched than ever.

But we’re not letting them getting away with it.

We know that the people of NSW stand with us in our fight to end this cruelty. We must keep the pressure up on the government, and expose the extent of corruption and cruelty in this senseless industry.
