The Scottish SPCA, the Dogs Trust and RSPCA united to call for a “phase out” of the sport
in a meeting with MSPs on Thursday.
We told in March how Scotland’s last greyhound track was given a surprise reprieve when a government report stopped short of calling for a full ban on the sport. Ms Gaines said: “We don’t feel that progress is…moving at scale to actually protect the dogs that are affected by this sport…and so we are now of the view that this activity has to be phased out.”
It comes after industry heads spoke to the committee last week, claiming the sport is “humane” despite the figures on injuries and deaths. “Despite protestations to the contrary from the industry, today’s evidence from leading animal welfare experts shows that the only way we can protect the welfare of these beautiful, graceful creatures is to phase out greyhound racing once and for all.
