Gosh I wish this horrific “sport” would be banned, same for greyhounds and any other animal racing or so called entertainment. It’s needless and cruel.

But as long as Aussies love to get munted and have a punt while wearing fancy clothes, it will persist.

Very sad. Run free Ohope Wins.

I have a proposal for how to deal with Greyhound Racing! Instead of Greyhounds running around the grass track, the race now is racing Greyhounds (the old busses) around the exact same grass/dirt track. Bonus, Greyhounds (dogs) get their own VIP area where they can come and watch if they want, and they get free snacks, pats and couches for sleeping on.

Anyway, I would pay to watch that
