Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds
@greyhoundcoalition.bsky.social
We expose the cruelty and corruption of greyhound racing and seek to close it down by influencing public opinion and changing government policy.
We call on all Australian politicians to support a ban on the dog-killing greyhound racing industry. RIP Video Referee who collapsed and died after his race on 5 March. The race was deemed "Heat Affected". He would have turned three years old in nine days. Image from SMH Lifestyle and race video.

Here are some of the the dogs that will not feature at tonight's "gala" awards. The ones that the industry and complicit Labor and LNP politicians want us all to forget. But we never will. This is the cruel reality of racing, not the sham awards.

Happy Valentines Day! 🩷 Here's a little reminder today that all greyhounds deserve to be loved - to live a life free from harm and exploitation, to run only when they want to run, to go for swims, and receive many cuddles and treats. 💙

In December, thanks to bipartisan support, New Zealand’s most conservative coalition government in years announced a ban on greyhound racing to protect the welfare of dogs. Without a political football to kick around, it seems governments can do the right thing.

In his new home, Percy developed from reserved to confident - loving the beach & chicken nuggets. His new carer Ellie says: "He has taught us so much about the power of love, patience and respect between humans and animals. We love our moo-boy very much."

"At Mandurah last night, Wormall's Girl suffered a broken leg in her 16th race at three years old and three six-year-old littermates—having raced over 400 times between them—are still competing. Why are so many injuries still happening? Why are greyhounds of six still running?"

Sportsbet & Tabcorp donate tens of thousands to Australia's major political parties.
It's unacceptable that political parties are accepting these donations when Australians lose billions and animals lose their lives for the sake of gambling profits for these companies.

Premier Chris Minns & Minister David Harris, look at the greyhounds killed racing due to your inaction in 2024. More than 20 NSW dogs were killed off-track after suffering leg injuries. We won't stop fighting until this horror show ends. We're only getting louder.

Bundaberg greyhound track to remain closed for another six months. #QLD
Racing Queensland is "concerned" about injury rates. They should be concerned, they should be horrified. Between two and three times as many dogs are injured at Bundaberg as other Queensland tracks. It's a death track.
