A bill banning the sport by August, is likely to come up for its third and final reading in Parliament tomorrow.

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.
