Interesting article.
Not sure what will happen. If they could clean it up, then yes keep it going, the dogs do love to run. but how do you stop joe blow in the outback baiting? And how about restricting the breeding some how, so not so many dogs end up slaughtered?
Horse racing is very different. For one you can't get a horse to chase a live bait! The rest on horse/jumps racing is for another thread.
If it some how wakes up other industries to make damn sure they are doing the right thing, then that can only be a positive.
As usual it's the rogues ruining it for the good guys. _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

I just don't get how they can ban it. What about banning domestic pets?
Of the 67,573 dogs that ended up at the RSPCA in 2010-11, 19,583 (about one in three) were put down. Most cats that end up at the RSPCA are killed – 37,177 out of 64,617. Many of these animals are healthy and the figures do not include euthanasia at vets or other shelters.Sep 25, 2012

Yes it's disgraceful. That's why things like Oscars Law are so important. Shutting down puppy and cat farms, stopping the breeding of designer (damaged) breeds. Too many being bred, not enough homes, all for the sake of the mighty dollar. For me no more do,estimated animals should be bred until every shelter animal has a home. But that's unrealistic.
I get where your coming from. Dogs love to race, so do horses, and some like jumping too. It's when the greed of man comes into play the trouble starts. If it can be controlled, if it can be a cruelty free business, fair enough, but can it?
I also get that neither sport will be fully banned, therefore tougher regulations need to be put in place.
I've seen in side the racing industry, I used to excercise a couple of trotters for someone, on the track. Those horses were loved as my own novelty racing pony was. But I've also seen a shit kid belt crap out of his horse when he lost a flag race. Unfortunately all too often greed, wether money or power, leads to corruption. _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

True TP. I encountered a nasty trainer who i witnessed punch one of my horses in the head. I was gobsmacked. Told him he was a halfwit and got our boy out of that stable straight away!
The guy no longer trains horses. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

It was an interesting article. Little doubt the report was flawed and the reaction was done in haste. See what happens. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Greyhound Victoria are ready for the influx. Wodonga Greyhounds are set to announce extra meetings as trainers are and have moved. NSW loss is Victoria's gain. Money always does the talking. |

Like the pokies back in the day, I remember my Nan taking trips to Echuca to play them. |

NSW Greyhound Association expects to see at a minimum 10000 Greyhounds put down due as they will be unable to find a home. With the influx of greyhounds to other states the flow on effect will be even more will be put down. This law was brought into protecting Greyhounds yet we will be having a cull. |

It's as much about protecting other animals from live baiting, and about preventing over breeding, preventing having a free for all when it comes to breeding in the hope that one in a litter will be able to run really fast. The majority of the litter are then killed, and not kindly with a needle, with a hammer or such. The good dogs will be shipped over the border, the rest may be culled, hopefully a lot rehomed. Yes innocent dogs will die, but many more will not be born to a life of misery, or no life at all.
Next step, prevent the dogs from being sent overseas to an even worse fate.
Dogs are family, and for some, a working member of the family, but not 'sport' or 'amusement'. _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

I wish the AFL would do more but they they are making big bucks from gambling revenue. The dollar rules as always ad when you have kids saying what's the odds of teams winning you know we are developing gamblers. |

Quote: | Mr Baird has been fighting the greyhound industry over the ban. Three Nationals MPs crossed the floor to vote against the legislation over concerns it will devastate regional communities. Mr Foley has promised to overturn the ban if he is elected in 2019 |
The current Baird Government is a carbon copy of the Kennet Government. Sell off everything, boast about how much money you have in the bank as your not spending any and bang, the natives are getting pissed off. |
