While the NSW greyhound inquiry was on break from hearings over the holiday period, resuming Monday, the horrific deaths & injuries suffered by greyhounds on and off tracks around Australia continued daily I've written something here: susanmetcalfe.medium.com/australias-vio… #Bangreyhoundracing
Richmond (NSW) in the last hour, can't see much. The dogs involved are "Aurora's Image" (blue) & "Knighted Ender" (pink). I don't think either dog finishes, hope they are ok #bangreyhoundracing
3 races so far at Ballarat (Vic) tonight & 2 dogs have fallen in wet conditions. First is "Kate's Rift" who suffered a "thoraco-lumbar injury" and"Pyrenees Blazer" who suffered a "right carpal sprain and right traingle muscle injury" #bangreyhoundracing fasttrack.grv.org.au/RaceField/View…
and note that the races were held in heavy rain conditions and there were problems with the track #bangreyhoundracing
Taree (NSW) this morning. in separate races "Kasey's Way" and "Let's Trot Will" both "fell at the finish on lure". Let's Trot Will suffered a foreleg spike wound. On 26 May he suffered a fractured Fibula at Maitland #bangreyhoundracing thedogs.com.au/attachments/ey…

#Drakeinquiry transcript "issue has been on the plate since 2017, "You will have a minimum track standard," despite the fact that in the absence of an agreed one everyone continued racing anyway, which seems a bit odd" - Hon Lea Drake #bangreyhoudnracing nsw.gov.au/sites/default/…



before greyhound races they have a "stir up" process to force the dogs into a state of extreme hyperarousal. It is so dangerous for dogs and handlers and there are numerous negative consequences for the dogs. It's disgusting. This is Taree (NSW) just now #bangreyhoundracing
Stop The Q - fantastic campaign from @animalkind_aus check out their page, write to the Racing Minister & Premier, share facts, contact your MP animalkind.org.au/campaigns/stop… Donate if you can to keep this billboard visible & the pressure on chuffed.org/project/stopth… #bangreyhoundracing

I continue to be shocked and sickened every single day that the barbaric activity they call greyhound racing is allowed to continue in this country #bangreyhoundracing
falling in pouring rain 10pm last night Bendigo (Vic), "Tommy Tequila" who suffered at least a spike wound to right achilles and "Milton Cranberry" a left hamstring injury. For all dogs, more injuries may later become apparent #bangreyhoundracing fasttrack.grv.org.au/RaceField/View…

Richmond (NSW) injury list from last night. And post-race vet exams only pick up some of the injuries. Lots of suffering for these beautiful dogs because some humans want to be entertained & feed their gambling addictions #bangreyhoundracing
Richmond (NSW) last night this is "Ferness" running on a fractured hock. 90 days incapacitation if they don't kill him #bangreyhoundracing animal abuse

commentator on this race kept saying both dogs looked "quite ok". He was trying to reassure viewers but mate a fractured wrist is not what anyone would call ok. 90 days incapacitation for "Tilly Robbo" if they don't kill her #bangreyhoundracing
"Tilly Robbo" and "Double Polka" falling at the Gardens (NSW) just now. Hope they are ok #bangreyhoundracing
sickening. This is "Lots of Bugs" at Townsville (Qld) death track earlier. Footage was removed very quickly from platforms. Australians have a right to see what greyhound racing really looks like. Probably Monday before report available #bangreyhoundracing
I regularly send links to footage of dogs falling, running on broken bones, dying on NSW tracks, to the Drake inquiry & NSW MPs. No idea what will be in the report but no one can say they didn't know about the daily abuse & suffering of these beautiful dogs #bangreyhoundracing
"Now's the time to demand the NSW Government shuts down this gambling fuelled dog killing industry: - Animal Liberation #bangreyhoundracing instagram.com/p/DMgwCBshQkr/…

no apparent injuries, apparently #bangreyhoundracing
Goulburn (NSW) just now. This is "Cash De Oro" (3 white) and "She's A Trunkey"(4 blue) falling. Hope they are ok #bangreyhoundracing
