That is of no use if your sole purpose is protesting the closure of Greyhound Racing.

As a board member & if you want a chance on overturning their decision, your complete focus needs to be on fixing this.

 

 

2020/2021 Major 2+ 1.9 per 1000.

 

2021/2022 Major 2+ 2.2 per 1000.

 

2022/2023 Major 2+ 2.2 per 1000.

 

2023/2024 Major 2+ 2.1 per 1000.

 

Current 2024/2025 Major 2+ 4.1 per 1000 (as far as GRNZ has reported on).

 

GRNZ shouldn't have been devastated by the announcement, they should have expected it.

 

I started screaming early warnings about the Southland track in August, but GRNZ already knew about it, right?

Does it not matter that the death rate attributed to race injury is down to almost zero?

It's difficult when it seems all the misconducts in greyhounds are highlighted.  The other codes are not squeaky clean.

I am not only disappointed at the decision to discontinue greyhound racing but also the disrespect to anyone involved in the industry.  The legislation put through under urgency is a farce in my opinion.  Trainers should dump all the dogs off at the Beehive as it seems to me that politicians have no idea or care about the consequences of that legislation, particularly when the SPCA euthanises dogs very regularly.  Just like retired racehorses, sometimes they would be better off shot upon retirement.  The first home might be great but, that is not always a forever home.
