Lynn Maney has been training and racing greyhounds for more than 50 years, and says the industry has 'improved enormously' in the past decade despite a report released this week from the former NSW head vet which claims there is widespread animal abuse.
Greyhound trainers in NSW say the industry has improved since it was almost shut down in 2015.The Coalition is calling for the industry to be shut down, but NSW Premier Chris Minns has ruled that out, instead announcing an inquiry.She met her husband Michael at the dog races, and now their grandchildren are rising through the ranks of the sport.The couple has 16 greyhounds on their property at Wimbledon, near Bathurst, west of Sydney.
"Animal welfare continues to play a distant second fiddle to the fiscal demands of the industry," Dr Brittan wrote.The government has given the GRNSW Board until the end of Friday to explain why its members should not be stood down. Those on the board include barrister Adam Casselden SC and defamation lawyer Rebekah Giles.Earlier this week, a "handover report" into Greyhound Racing NSW alleged poor animal welfare.
Mackayla Clarke, 21, is one of the youngest trainers at Richmond Race Club, and said she has never known anyone to treat their dogs poorly. "There've been inquiries before. I don't think anything different is going to come out of the inquiries. So I don't see the point in spending an excessive amount of money."Kylie Field, the NSW director for the Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds, agreed another inquiry was not the answer.
Mr Harris said he was committed to a "responsible" industry that maintained the highest standards of animal welfare.
