New Zealand's racing minister says the country will outlaw greyhound racing, citing the injury rates for racing dogs
FILE - A greyhound competes in a race at the Iowa Greyhound Park, on April 16, 2022, in Dubuque, Iowa. New Zealand plans to outlaw greyhound racing because too many dogs are hurt or killed, the government said Tuesday, spelling an end to the practice in one of the few countries where it still operates.
New Zealand’s greyhound racing industry has faced repeated reviews in recent years over its dog safety record, with multiple reports urging sweeping changes. Peters said the industry had made progress -– but not enough. Some lawmakers in parliament on Tuesday described the racing industry’s end as inevitable following the steady decline of greyhound racing worldwide.
