Injuries are an occupational hazard in dog racing. #Greyhound Racing #Ireland, the industry’s administrator in Ireland, last week released fresh details of injuries and fatalities in the racing pool in 2024. irishexaminer.com/opinion/commen…

Greyhounds collided in a race at Tralee track on Friday (25 July 2025). 2-year-old Keelans Joker "did not finish" (suggesting an injury). Don't go greyhound racing. #Ireland #BanGreyhoundRacing

Why was this dog allowed to race so soon after an horrific fall, just one week earlier? She finished 6th, again… clearly considered fit to race! Welfare first? Never! #cutthechase #AnimalCruelty #AnimalAbuse

"I'm urging the government to ban what I can only describe as a barbaric and invasive procedure used on greyhounds [surgical artificial insemination]" - Dessie Ellis TD (Sinn Fein) banbloodsports.wordpress.com/2025/07/16/sur… @martinheydonfg #AnimalCruelty #Ireland #BanSurgicalAI

Thank you Deputy Ellis. Surgical Artificial Insemination of greyhounds is the cruelty that most people have never heard of. It needs to be banned immediately.

Towcester, Oxford, Doncaster all racing greyhounds today in extreme heat whilst @SISLtd Irish racing cancelled. Double standards on welfare. But no surprise there, it's cash they care about not dogs.

IN 2024, 346 GBGB GREYHOUNDS DIED AND 10 WERE INJURED EACH DAY ON AVERAGE. But in a new podcast, three clueless defenders of dog racing describe how "proud" they are of the recently released injury and death numbers by the Greyhound Board of Great Britain. Listeners are told…

Great to see Welsh Government moving forward with work to ban greyhound racing in Wales #cutthechase #petsnotbets #bangreyhoundracing

This sweet greyhound had to have all her teeth removed, after she was rescued from racing. The industry doesn’t care about a greyhound’s health or wellbeing.. she became a much loved pet and wonderful therapy dog. She left us, aged 14. #cutthechase #AnimalCruelty

Well for sure the UK and Ireland are not far behind them 💔😡

Roll up, roll up! 📣 Bring the kids along to watch dogs being injured and killed at every track in England & Wales! They say it’s a fun day out! #BanGreyhoundRacing #NationalGreyhoundWeek

animalaid.org.uk/as-123-greyhou… 'Forced to Run' may be fiction, but the themes it covers are all too real. amzn.to/4nB6zIh #CutTheChase

“Flog them to death”! Shortage of dogs so keep them running until they can run no more. They don’t care. Three out of four of the dogs highlighted are trained by known dog dopers. MONEY above WELFARE! End Greyhound Racing Now!

The ban in Wales can't come quick enough Get all the UK tracks shutdown! @lisanandy

Just goes to show how so well supported greyhound racing is NOT! A small group achieves over 40k signatures against one track reopening but the GBGB can’t even achieve 5k for theirs. @lisanandy @SteveReedMP @RupertLowe10 @AliceMLabour @AnimalAid @BlueCrossPA #cutthechase
