BRING BACK THE BAN ON GREYHOUND RACING

Greyhound racing is on its last legs around the world and it’s time NSW joined the growing list of governments putting animal welfare ahead of gambling industry profits.

In just the past year:

• Tasmania announced a phase-out, making it the second Australian jurisdiction to ban greyhound racing, after the ACT’s 2018 ban.)
• New Zealand announced a national phase-out.
  
• Wales committed to banning greyhound racing.
  
• The U.S. now has just one commercial greyhound racing track left, and politicians from both major parties are urging Australia to follow.

Meanwhile, here in NSW, 17 dogs died on racing tracks in 2024. Over 4,200 on-track injuries were reported. And millions in public money continue to prop up this cruel industry. The statistics keep getting worse: already this year, at least 36 greyhounds have died and almost 3,000 have been injured in NSW alone – the highest injury rate in the country.

NSW is fast becoming one of the last jurisdictions on earth to still permit commercial greyhound racing.

We were so close to ending greyhound racing in 2016. The facts haven’t changed. The cruelty hasn't stopped. In fact, it's worse.

✍️ Tell your MP you want greyhound racing to end. Urge Premier Minns and Racing Minister David Harris to support a responsible phase-out and stop using taxpayer money to fund this cruel industry.

Let’s BRING BACK THE BAN and make it permanent this time.
