Concerns with rehoming greyhounds after industry shutdown

from Checkpoint

There's growing concern about the rehoming of hundreds of greyhounds with the dog racing industry due to be shut down in just four months time. A bill banning the sport by August, is likely to come up for its third and final reading in Parliament tomorrow. ACT has pulled its support for the legislation raising concerns about the crown effectively confiscating the private property of law abiding business owners. It's also worried about the rehoming of 1600 greyhound or more and said it will take considerable resources. Greyhound Racing New Zealand chief executive Edward Rennell spoke to Lisa Owen.
