The former chief vet at Greyhound Racing NSW has claimed that the industry is barbaric, immoral and unsustainable, and leaders are inflating the number of re-homed dogs.
The former chief vet at Greyhound Racing NSW described the treatment of racing greyhounds as barbaric and the industry as unsustainable in a damning letter to racing bosses that claimed deaths were being hidden from the public.
A former chief veterinary officer of Greyhound Racing NSW has slammed the industry as immoral and unsustainable.“GRNSW’s internal stance and attitude to indentured animal welfare concerns is reprehensible and would place the incoming CVO at a potential conflict with the NSW vet code of conduct.” As rumours swirled about the document’s potential contents, GRNSW – which gets a slice of NSW gambling taxes – bought full-page ads in newspapers, including this masthead, in which it thanked the public for its “best year ever” and declared NSW had zero unnecessary euthanasia and a record rehoming of dogs.Advertisement
Eight years have passed since former Coalition premier Mike Baird tried to ban greyhound racing after a report by a retired High Court judge found the industry had “fundamental animal welfare issues, integrity and governance failings that can not be remedied”. “The industry continues to over-produce exhausted greyhounds that are no longer able to race,” it said. “They are not being rehomed, despite massive PR campaigns to promote the effectiveness of GRNSW rehoming policies.”
GWIC’s rehoming figures were still lower than the 2000 publicised by the industry body, a discrepancy Brittan attributed to Greyhound Racing NSW’s use of the term “assisted to pet life”, which he said was the name of a financial subsidy to prepare the dog for potential rather than actual rehoming.
