Labour Government Dismisses Calls for Greyhound Racing Ban
A government petition calling for a ban on greyhound racing has surpassed its initial target of 10,000 signatures, prompting a response from the government.
The petition highlights the cruelty of the industry, which resulted in 123 dog deaths and thousands of injuries last year, as well as a significant burden on rescue centres.
The government has no plans to ban greyhound racing
The government's response cites several excuses for not banning the sport, including claims that it is "well-regulated". However, critics argue that the industry is self-regulated, with the industry "marking its own homework".
