STATEMENT – GREYHOUND RACING SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Like everyone, we are appalled by this vision as it goes against everything we stand for as a sporting community.
GRSA Stewards immediately served an inquiry notice and opened an investigation. Both trainers on the property have been suspended with immediate effect, pending a formal interview.
GRSA Animal Welfare Officers inspected the property this morning and are satisfied with the current welfare of all dogs. Given the suspension of the trainers, the dogs will be removed from the property and placed at other training facilities over the coming days.
GRSA welcomes an independent inquiry into greyhound racing in South Australia.
We believe our track record over recent years demonstrates our ability to effectively administer the rules of racing, but we are always looking for ways to improve in line with our commitments to welfare, transparency and accountability.
