Introduce a Statutory Levy on Bookmakers to Fund Greyhound Welfare

Petition Details

We call on the UK Government to introduce a statutory levy on bookmakers to secure reliable funding for greyhound welfare.

Additional Information

We do not think current voluntary contributions adequately address welfare needs. We think we need a sustainable funding model to ensure that every greyhound receives proper care and support both during and after their racing careers. By legislating for this levy, the government could secure the future of greyhound welfare funding, ensuring that we continue to protect and care for these canine athletes for years to come.
