Ban Greyhound Racing. -Concerns over animal welfare.
All animals involved in sport deserve the highest level of care.
The hidden side of greyhound racing includes dogs kept for long periods in lonely kennels, painful injuries from racing and training, drug abuse, illness and neglect.
Whilst the Government has no plans to ban greyhound racing, it is aware of the welfare concerns surrounding the sport.
