Greyhound industry figures discussed breeding so many dogs it would become impossible to shut down the industry due to welfare issues, in secret recordings tabled in South Australia's Parliament.
Secret recordings tabled in a SA parliamentary committee showed greyhound industry figures discussed breeding more dogs and illegal drone surveillance.A former racing integrity commissioner will oversee administrative and animal welfare reforms in the SA greyhound industry from July.
Ms Franks obtained recordings of the meetings and tabled them during a hearing of parliament's budget and finance committee. "The harder it is for them, the bleeding hearts that want to find homes for all dogs and things like that, the more there are in the system, the harder it is for them to do anything."Once the review was completed, the government pledged to give the industry two years to meet a series of recommendations, or face the threat of being shut down.In the recordings of the meetings, there is discussion around the lack of flexibility on recommendations and how they'll be met.
"I mean the Adelaide Greyhound Club moved a motion at our AGM that we are going to put aside $25,000 if anyone needs us to get a barrister or a private detective to get onto these people."The unfortunate thing about the drones and stuff is the properties haven't looked great, so they've been able to make us look bad haven't they?
"We continue to make good progress against the inquiry report's recommendations and remain focused on working with participants and government to safeguard the future of our great sport."The chief executive of the Office of Recreation, Sport and Racing, Kylie Taylor, was appearing to give evidence at the parliamentary committee when Ms Franks tabled the recordings.
