Dog home volunteer calls for ban on greyhound racing

Thousands of people have signed a petition calling for a ban on greyhound racing, saying the sport is out of date, but the government does not support the move.

In a personal film for Politics Live, Kim Ellis of the Forever Hounds Trust said some retired greyhounds are mentally and physically affected by living in kennels, and do not recognise other dog breeds or know what it is like to live in a home.

87% of greyhounds 'go on to have other lives'

The governing body for licensed greyhound racing explains plans for fewer dog injuries, with more of them living in people's homes.

Plans for fewer injuries does seem to be 'a bit late' dogs may enjoy racing.. but not being stuck in kennels 95% of the time,being drugged, abused or injured. 

As you are aware this one I feel very strongly about please read previous blogs: 1000's of Greyhounds die
