Stop Queensland greyhounds being sent to labs
Every year Queensland Racing sends almost 200 greyhounds to labs and research facilities, probably to their deaths. I call on the Queensland Government and Queensland Racing to urgently stop this immoral and unethical practice. In NSW, the industry regulator GWIC is about to introduce a ban on sending retired greyhounds to facilities that conduct "animal research, animal plasma or blood collection." The Queensland Government should also publish the fate of the 785 greyhounds sent to these facilities over the last four years as reported by the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission in their quarterly greyhound reports. The Australian greyhound racing industry has created a rehoming crisis through uncontrolled breeding, lack of socialisation and minimal resources allocated to rehoming. Additionally, there is no greyhound rehoming policy in Queensland which means unwanted dogs can be killed without any attempt by their owner to find them a home. Minister Grace is on record as saying she would implement a program of monitoring dogs ‘to ensure that no animal will be able to disappear off the map.’ To meet this guarantee and the expectations of the Australian community, the Queensland Government must also: - implement digital whole-of-life tracking as recently passed in the Victorian Parliament - introduce caps on breeding and a rehoming policy to ensure that all dogs bred by the industry are able to live out their lives as pets when discarded by the industry - redirect the $40m of taxpayer money allocated for the Ipswich mega-track to essential services such as hospitals and schools I look forward to receiving your response.
