A sign of things to come here in the UK ( I hope ). New South Wales plan to ban Grey hound racing from 2017. Greyhound racing is to be shut 
down in New South Wales following the live-baiting scandal. Premier Mike Baird announced the d
ecision on Thursday, saying that the industry will be closed completely from July next year.
It follows a Special Commission of Inquiry, the findings of which were handed to the state government last week. The ABC uncovered the livebaiting scandal last year, showing disturbing footage of live animals being used to train greyhounds. Mr Baird said the Special Commissions of Inquiry’s report found that between 48,000 and 68,000 greyhounds bred to race were killed in the past 12 years because they were deemed “uncompetitive”.
How long will it be before we see it here in the UK?
