Petition: Help Save Healthy Racing Dogs from Being “Euthanized”

In an industry veiled in secrecy, a shocking revelation has emerged about Victoria’s greyhound racing: healthy, young dogs are being “euthanized” without attempts at treatment or rehoming. An accidental email intended for a greyhound trainer but mistakenly sent to a rescue group has exposed this disturbing practice.

This issue came to light when a 12-month-old greyhound with a suspected but unconfirmed fracture was put down without the option of x-rays or medical care – simply because the dog was no longer economically viable.

Tragically, this is not the only incident of this happening. Victorian Racing Tribunal’s investigations have uncovered similar stories, where dogs with treatable conditions were “euthanized” without any real attempt to find them new homes.

Please sign this petition to demand parliament pass the motion to force Greyhound Racing Victoria to be more transparent and accountable!
