Didn’t even know we had greyhound racing in Wales.
“High on the agenda” since 35,000 people signed a petition?
I assume that any other issue with support over and above that would get the same?
Or is it just the performative bollocks these idiots like to highlight?
I truly despair at these morons we have in the Senedd.
Fostering an ex-racing greyhound. They’re great dogs with fun personalities. Mine’s on the sofa snoring like an old man as I type this.
This whole issue is what gives me real concern over politics, in Wales and UK-wide, in general. It isn’t a lAbOuR bAd thing, its the fact that there’s a practice that almost everyone (besides a tiny subset of people who clearly don’t care for an animal’s welfare) agree is really bad and should stop, but no ones been willing to use even the tiniest amount of political capital to stop it.
It’s such a small thing to stop – and I know the response may well be “people will still do it illegally” – fine, but lets stop legally letting people do something that’s really bad?
If you dont know why it should stop, look into how greyhounds are treated; from the food they’re fed to the accidents on the track, and the dumping the second their racing days are over to charities to pick up the pieces.
