Addington have just tried to tell us to take down our stop the ban signs from the electronic board for their dual code. They don’t want us to display them. Do our industry proud and show the public we are worth keeping. This is very disappointing that another race code that collects rent revenue from the hounds behaves like this. I for one will not support harness code in the furture 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curious Posted yesterday at 04:16 AM Share Posted yesterday at 04:16 AM Why? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the bill unless the dogs are de-registered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are replying to my post. If they are racing dogs and breeding dogs why not be able to export them to a jurisdiction that still races dogs? Not exactly China is it?

But the point is, the emergency legislation they passed in December strictly blocks this. Legally, no racing greyhound can be exported to Australia from New Zealand for racing purposes. Im not sure how well this would hold up in the courts if its challenged but as of right now, its impossible to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too true, industry has been given plenty of warnings to tidy act up…. Id be selling dogs overseas now, no good waiting till end of racing, be plenty selling then, and more than likely something put in place to stop selling overseas.

Special Agent Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Racing and breeding dogs (i.e. ALL greyhounds) cannot be exported to Australia RIGHT NOW. FFS. It's more than sad for the "participants" in the greyhound industry. Just because it's a bit of fun betting, or choosing not to bet, on greyhounds there are a whole lot of human beings who have lost their livelihood. Not only that but, the poor bastards can't recoup any dosh by selling any competitive or well bred ones to a greyhound racing country. Plus you must find suitable homes for your soon to be finished dogs, which must be desexed no matter the age. How legal (or sane) is any of that??!! Pick any other industry operating in New Zealand (i.e. freight companies, meat workers, forestry, electricians etc) and see how those families would cope if the breadwinner of the family was told he/she only had months to continue earning. I don't think On Track have enough personnel to cope with the fall out on this one. As for phrases like "tidy their act up" WTF does that mean? Too many are talking through a hole in their head. This isn't a game. It's an absolute disaster, even if it doesn't effect you. No one is looking at the big picture. I hate the word woke but, FFS open your eyes we are being ruled by a woke minority!!
