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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curious Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago 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...

Yes very sad for participants in the industry but reading a few reports looks like this has been a problem for a fair while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
