Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
2900 greyhounds in New Zealand will need new homes by 1 August 2026. What happens to the dogs if that number of people or families can’t be found to adopt them? I guess you will have to ask the SPCA that question. Let’s just hope there are 2900 Homer Simpsons out there. Otherwise the Kiwi […]
Six greyhound meetings have been run in Queensland so far this month. At the time of writing there is only one Stewards report that has been published for any of them. Official Stewards reports usually go up on the QRIC website shortly after the meeting ends, or on the next morning. Rarely are they delayed […]
It is interesting that the QRIC saw the need to respond to today’s article in the Courier-Mail listing the on-track deaths of greyhounds compiled by the Coalition For the Protection of Greyhounds (republished on this site) by issuing a media release (published in full in story below) saying that the death statistics were not reported […]

Unless a miracle happens greyhound racing in Victoria as we know it will be dead in 3 years time. The sport’s already on life support. Its only a matter of time until the doctor turns the machines off. Spending has outstripped income by $30 million in the past two years, and if continues at that […]
Hey Archie Help a bloke out here & tell me how a trainer charged with animal welfare breaches can be given a stay of proceedings that allows them to continue to train? The parasite I refer to is Nicholas Howlett (pictured), the same trainer who raced a dog with cocaine in it’s system and tried […]
For the past few months we have been telling anyone who will listen that the Bundaberg greyhound track is unsafe and presents a danger to racing animals, and backed our assertions up with facts and figures about injuries sustained by dogs at the course, particularly on the turns. Racing Queensland and the QRIC agree, and […]
In a highly unusual move, Greyhound Racing Victoria (GRV) is requiring every registered participant in the State to undergo a National Police Check (NPS) and provide them with the results. Of particular note is that owners have to provide one too. That might stir the possum a bit, for there are more than a couple […]
We have written extensively over the past 3 months about the unacceptable dangers that the Bundaberg greyhound track poses to racing animals, and have repeatedly called for it to be closed down. As a direct result of our stories detailing the mass injuries – and in some cases deaths – suffered by dogs at the […]
