@susanamet @freethehounds These panel members should be embarrassed. They seem to not care, don't even know what information they have/don't have, let's just sit back and ignore the question.

Racing and Wagering Western Australia at the WA greyhound racing inquiry just now. Not one person at that table can answer how many greyhounds have been killed on WA tracks so far this year @freethehounds #bangreyhoundracing parliament.wa.gov.au/watch/live/com… #Hearings" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">parliament.wa.gov.au/Parliament/com…

NSW greyhound "Need An Alibi" is 2 years old today. He will not be having a happy birthday. His racing life so far has been filled with suffering after running in just two races. In his second ever race at Maitland last night he collided with the metal railing suffering a fracture to the right fibula. 42 days incapacitation. In his first race was last month 7 Feb at the Gardens he fell badly on the first turn, suffering sprains to his right shoulder, left pin, left fore shoulder muscle, left fore wrist and left quad muscle. He was given just 14 days incapacitation but didn't race again until last night. What will his suffering be next time he is forced on to a track? He will be injured again, you can bet on it. Footage - he is number 4 in blue both races. First images are from currently available 7 Feb replay, the sanitised version GRNSW wants you to see with images of fall removed. Next is what happened in that disappeared moment, the fall. Then images from last night where he slows down after colliding with the rail and then keeps running on his fracture. These familiar and always shocking images provide further important evidence of a pattern of abuse and suffering inflicted on greyhounds in NSW on a daily basis. These images are further evidence of unsafe NSW tracks and the serious risks faced by greyhounds every time they are forced to run on these tracks. GRNSW claims to prioritise animal welfare. These images, and many others like them, do not support those claims.

another greyhound dead in Victoria just now at Sandown - the second so far today. Sickening... hard to watch This is "Winckie Bale" in a horrible fall on the first turn. Clearly suffering, she is removed from the track while race is running (see last image). Was declared a no race. No report yet but her record has just changed to DECEASED. Likely euthanised. She was 4 years old and used for racing 82 times. Rest in Peace 🤍 Born: 7 April 2022 Killed: 30 March 2026 in Victoria #bangreyhoundracing Replay available and report will appear here: fasttrack.grv.org.au/RaceField/View…

Greyhound Capo Dei Capi was killed about an hour ago at Shepparton in Victoria Syndicate-owned, only 20 months young. She won her race, did everything asked of her, moments later she was dead, euthanised after an "incident" in the catching pen. No detail about the "incident", could have been a fall, a collision, something else? Rest in Peace 🤍 Born: 13 July 2024 Killed: 30 March 2026 Shepparton Victoria #bangreyhoundracing Replay and report: fasttrack.grv.org.au/RaceField/View…

why is greyhound "Paw Kurtis" dead in Victoria? Not yet 2 years old, he was used for racing 5 times. His last race was 11 March (no 5 yellow in footage) with post-race vet exam finding he had cramped, given 7 days incapacitation. His Fasttrack record has now changed to deceased. How did he die? Rest in Peace 🤍 Born: 26 May 2024 Killed: March 2026 in Victoria #bangreyhoundracing Fasttrack record with links to reports and replays: fasttrack.grv.org.au/Dog/Details/10…

Casino NSW just now. First in footage is "Debbie Dutton". Not yet 2 years old, her first race was last month. Fall looks horrible and can't see the aftermath but staff look alarmed and someone runs out on the track. Debbie Dutton update: major injury, extreme suffering involved - "a nearside radius/ulna fracture". 90 days incapacitation if they don't kill her In the next race, "Kingsbrae Ebanee", also a bub not yet 2 years old, running injured. Kingsbrae Ebanee update: "an offside hip injury". 14 days incapacitation The censoring of footage by GRNSW is inconsistent and often makes no sense. These replays are currently available on the GRNSW website. These familiar but still shocking images provide further important evidence of a pattern of abuse and suffering inflicted on greyhounds in NSW on a daily basis. These images are further evidence of unsafe NSW tracks and the serious ongoing risks faced by greyhounds whenever they are made to run on these tracks. GRNSW claims to prioritise animal welfare. These images, and many others like them, do not support those claims.

Shepparton in Victoria today, just the usual normalised animal abuse. Three greyhounds fell and another was dragged down suffering a serious injury. "Billy Boy Reuben was galloped on by Lolly Cake turning off the back straight causing Billy Boy Reuben, Be Like Wayne and Lolly Cake to fall and severely checking Arizona Icon who subsequently tailed off" Arizona Icon limped the rest of the way on his "left metatarsal fracture". Post race vet exams found: Billy Boy Reuben - injuries to the right fibula and right triceps Be Like Wayne – no apparent injury Lolly Cake - left back muscle injury Arizona Icon - left metatarsal fracture with 60 days incapacitation And of course more injuries may later become apparent. Predictable, inevitable, animal abuse. Same story day after day after day around the country. #bangreyhoundracing Replay and report: fasttrack.grv.org.au/RaceField/View…

Look what these pricks do to dogs that don't want to be abused, tortured and killed so gambling companies can make some dough

straight tracks are definitely better but they are not the answer. Races still going at Healesville in Victoria, a couple of the injuries so far. First is "Bonfiglio" falling, confused, suffering a left scapula "injury" (I think you mean "fracture"?). Only 28 days recovery given. Syndicate-owned, not yet 2 years old, his first race was last month. Won't surprised if he has more injuries that later become apparent along with the trauma they never talk about. fasttrack.grv.org.au/RaceField/View… Next is "Mr. Thomas" who barely made it out of the starting box before falling. Post-race he was found to be suffering a right triangle injury with just 5 days recovery given. As we know, many injuries only become apparent later so could be more. fasttrack.grv.org.au/RaceField/View… #bangreyhoundracing

@susanamet As my own rescue #greyhound lies on her cushion, my heart breaks for these gorgeous dogs💔💔

greyhounds love to run on broken bones "Bush Lass" doing her best to keep up on a fractured right hock at Geelong Victoria this afternoon. 90 days incapacitation if they don't kill her, and they do kill a lot of greyhounds in Victoria #bangreyhoundracing Report and replay: fasttrack.grv.org.au/RaceField/View…

@gomichild My rescue greyhound is starting to settle after 4 months. It is not a linear shift but, at last, I think there is progress. 🐾🐾

Struggling a bit this morning. Tell me something good x

@diva_ex_machina @gomichild I'm so sorry. Same thing happened to my greyhound, Max, in August. He was 12 and just collapsed. So grateful to the vet who helped me say goodbye. Greys are the funniest, most chilled dogs and give so much love. If now is the time, I wish you happy memories.

@gomichild Greyhounds only live 12-14 years. She's 13, so she's had good innings. She never really learned how to 'dog', & in the 10 years I've had her she has never run, or left the deck even when there are hares or wallabies in the yard. She's been all about comfort, & I'm fine with that.

I wasn’t looking for another dog. Losing Piper broke my heart & then losing Drum smashed what was left. But the bloody universe thought different. I’d like to introduce my new puppy - Memphis. #puppysittingfail

@paddythegreyt You are totally spot on, Paddy. Particularly agree with the 14% of the sofa, and may I add, 8.5% of the human's bed. ❤️

7News Tasmania report last night on the greyhound racing phase out "within 24 hours that dog had been shipped back to Victoria and killed" - @CassyOConnorMLC 7plus.com.au/seven-news-tas… #bangreyhoundracing

** footage warning ** was all smiles for the dog slaughter industry at Sandown (Vic) last night. For the rest of Australia, a night or horror & sadness as one dog was killed, another slid under the railing fracturing a leg, numerous other serious injuries #Bangreyhoundracing

Greyhound Racing NSW are holding a puppy auction on Sunday. The start of a life where your only value is as a commodity. You're not given a name, just a lot number. Please spare a thought on Sunday for the pups starting a barren, hazardous life as a product in the racing industry

They killed her in front of her kids. Yesterday, a 23-year-old woman was murdered in Springfield Lakes, Qld. Her husband and his brother are charged over her death. She is the third woman killed this week, the 28th killed this year and the 131st woman killed since January 1, 2024. She has two little children - both under five years old. She comes from Afghanistan and it is my understanding has very few relatives in Australia. Overnight Thursday, a woman was killed in Hamilton, Victoria, and on Tuesday a 20-year-old woman mowed down in the street and left to die. *** ❤️SUPPORT MY WORK❤️ Please support my work and the Memorial to Women and Children Lost to Violence and Australian Femicide Watch.
