Petition: Help Ban Greyhound Racing in Australia

Australia’s greyhounds are facing a crisis, caught in a cycle of overbreeding fueled by the racing industry. As a result, hundreds of these gentle animals are being sent far from home to the US, not out of choice but a necessity — a dire shortage of local homes forces them into long journeys for a chance at a peaceful life. This is the harsh reality of an industry out of control.

Animal welfare advocates reveal that the root of this desperate situation is the massive overbreeding of greyhounds, driven by demands of a sport that values profit over the well-being of its stars. The outcome? Innocent lives are uprooted, and many more remain in limbo, waiting for homes that are too few and far between.

Please sign this petition to demand Australian lawmakers to enact a nationwide ban on greyhound racing.
