Greyhound Racing SA has bowed to pressure by revealing nearly 500 healthy dogs were killed in South Australia over the past year, but the RSPCA says it doesn’t trust the figures and wants parliament to press ahead with an inquiry into the industry.
Remember that old advertising slogan for John West tuna that insisted it was the fish “John West rejects” that make the brand the best?
Greyhound Racing South Australia says it will not disclose the number of greyhounds that die unnecessarily in the industry each year.
Up to 17,000 greyhounds are unnecessarily killed each year in Australia, but the number of dogs killed in each state remains an industry secret.
