We call on all Australian politicians to support a ban on the dog-killing greyhound racing industry. RIP Video Referee who collapsed and died after his race on 5 March. The race was deemed "Heat Affected". He would have turned three years old in nine days. Image from SMH Lifestyle and race video.

Here are some of the the dogs that will not feature at tonight's "gala" awards. The ones that the industry and complicit Labor and LNP politicians want us all to forget. But we never will. This is the cruel reality of racing, not the sham awards. greyhoundcoalition.com/the-shameful...

Happy Valentines Day! 🩷 Here's a little reminder today that all greyhounds deserve to be loved - to live a life free from harm and exploitation, to run only when they want to run, to go for swims, and receive many cuddles and treats. 💙

In December, thanks to bipartisan support, New Zealand’s most conservative coalition government in years announced a ban on greyhound racing to protect the welfare of dogs. Without a political football to kick around, it seems governments can do the right thing. Read more: buff.ly/4hQv9Bf

You will never regret rescuing a greyhound! In his new home, Percy developed from reserved to confident - loving the beach & chicken nuggets. His new carer Ellie says: "He has taught us so much about the power of love, patience and respect between humans and animals. We love our moo-boy very much."

another greyhound killed yesterday Ipswich (Qld) - "Goes Like Gary" who would have been 3 next month, "approaching the catching pen was checked & then stumbled." He was "euthanised". He came 3rd (in green), he did everything they asked, and now he is dead #bangreyhoundracing

2 greyhounds showed injury signs before their races but were still forced to run. "Leichhardt Roar" was showing signs of "lameness". "Mick's Over" didn't appear to be himself and after racing was found to have "hip support soreness" #bangreyhoundracing thedogs.com.au/attachments/...

Bundaberg greyhound track to remain closed for another six months. #QLD Racing Queensland is "concerned" about injury rates. They should be concerned, they should be horrified. Between two and three times as many dogs are injured at Bundaberg as other Queensland tracks. It's a death track.

#QLD is the killing state for greyhounds. Last year, industry participants rushed to kill their unwanted greyhounds before a new rules came into effect that would reduce the numbers killed annually. In just 3 months, 73 dogs were labelled "unrehomeable" and killed by complicit vets.
