As Premier Mike Baird said, this industry is responsible for the unnecessary slaughtering of tens of thousands of healthy dogs. 

Now that the industry has been given notice to close down, the fate of thousands more is uncertain.

The government must ensure that the greyhound racing industry stops all breeding programs immediately in order to make certain that there are not even more dogs in need of “forever homes”. 

Over the next year, any money earmarked for building or renovating tracks should be reallocated to promote desexing and dog-adoption programs.

Greyhounds are gentle, friendly dogs who love nothing better than human company, a kind word and a loving touch. 

If you are thinking of taking a new companion into your home, a greyhound, or any shelter dog, will offer loyalty and affection. 

Adopt a companion and offer him or her, and yourself, many years of joy and love.
