Greyhound Racing NSW continues to threaten me with legal action if I don't meet their demands. So I need to raise more funds to cover legal expenses. If you can assist me to keep fighting for my rights, your rights, & the rights of greyhounds, this is where to donate chuffed.org/project/1525...

The body that is supposed to look after the dogs exploited by the NSW greyhound racing industry is curbing the public's ability to see what happens to individual animals.

INDUSTRY BUILT ON DEAD DOGS Emma Hurst MP: "If there was an industry that killed hundreds of labradors for fun and gambling, would it still be legal? Because in the past year alone in New South Wales 1,153 greyhounds lost their lives in the greyhound racing industry." #AusPol #DogsofBsky #Dogs

an important issue someone might like to dig into is who owns the rights to greyhound racing footage around Australia. Who is making the decisions that deny Australians access to the truth about greyhound racing? #bangreyhoundracing

Times are tough & so many important causes always need our support. Just if you are able to assist, I would be extremely grateful. If the total is more than my legal fees the surplus will be donated to an organisation working to end greyhound racing in Australia chuffed.org/project/1525...

Greyhound Racing NSW is threatening legal action against advocate Susan Metcalfe for sharing footage that exposes the brutal reality of racing dogs. When taxpayer-backed industries try to hide cruelty, it shows how urgently we need transparency in animal welfare. www.crikey.com.au/2025/10/06/g...

Susan Metcalfe provides accountability for a greyhound abuse industry that has little or none. So the industry is sending its lawyers after her.

they are horrible, i hate them too! But people need to know the truth. I have a lot of history on twitter with past tweets that i can keep looking up and referring to. Also a lot of animal advocacy people are not over here, yet. And I don't have enough time as it is so one is already too much

I won't be posting as much about the greyhounds on here from now. For a number of reasons, twitter (yes I hate it too) is where I have kept up most greyhound postings so will be continuing mostly over there. I don't have time for both regularly so for now will just be doing random animal posts here

lumbo-sacral injury for "All Whiskey" at Warrnambool (Vic) tonight. Not in serious category but there are surely long term consequences from these types of falls. She's just 1 & a half years old in only her 2nd race. In pink below fasttrack.grv.org.au/RaceField/Vi... #bangreyhoundracing

"no apparent injury" but she was again "charged with failing to pursue the lure with due commitment." She doesn't belong on a track, she needs to be in a home and on a couch with people who love her. If she's forced to run again you will never hear the end of my loud complaints #bangreyhoundracing
