WELFARE OF GREYHOUNDS

Early day motion 1742, tabled 2 March 2006 by Alan Meale (Labour). Signed by 125 members.

That this House calls on the Government to address animal welfare concerns within greyhound racing; notes that 10,000 greyhounds retire from racing each year, only 2,000 of which are known to be re-homed; welcomes provisions for improving racing greyhound welfare in the Animal Welfare Bill; and calls on the Government to bring forward measures, including the possible introduction of compulsory levies, to ensure that proper levels of funding are made available from within the industry towards the cost of greyhound welfare.
