#politas #GreyhoundRacing. Ask yourself what sort of politician goes out there day after day to not just defend this but actually actively promote it. And obvs if you believe the deaths and cruelty magically end at any state border, then you will believe anything.

Mega Indy crosses the line at Warragul VIC yesterday - with a fractured hindleg. Now recorded as dead. Only 2 years old. Trainer is William Dawes. Why wasn't the leg treated? Other dead siblings: Mega Sam (William Dawes) and unnamed (Steven Hanning). VIC racing keeps killing dogs

Mark Ruskell getting it over the line for the greyhounds in Scotland: "It is truly the mark of a society by the way it treats its animals. And the case against greyhound racing is plain to see ... racing greyhounds at speeds of up to 40 miles an hour around an oval track results in catastrophic injuries & deaths ... dogs break their legs, break their backs, end up paralysed & with serious head trauma" scottishparliament.tv/meeting/stage-… #bangreyhoundracing

Today's the day we can finally end greyhound racing in Scotland, for good. Dogs like Kaas - and countless others - deserve so much better. We're now at the final hurdle. It's time to get this over the line. greens.scot/news/time-to-e… #unboundthegreyhound

#politas #DanishRoyals Lovely people, I’m sure but we seem to be making more of a fuss here than they ever do back home on the streets of Copenhagen? It’s a bit desperate and cringe worthy?

#politas The Scottish parliament has just voted 70 to 27 to ban #GreyhoundRacing. Hot on heels of Wales doing the same. Will our MLCs take note.. or just stand there Canute-like against extraordinary global tide.

@ribchester411 In your dreams. Policy compromises are how government gets formed under the Westminster system when no party has a majority. If you think it’s dirty, feel free but arguably it’s actually democracy working as it is supposed to. 74% of Tasmanians despise dog racing.

@Deb_Fleming It was a political stroke to pass a budget. A bit like Tasmania, dirty stroke to hang on to power. These politicians will be voted out very soon.

#politas Meanwhile in SA new polling shows how marginal, cruel and outdated taxpayer subsidised #GreyhoundRacing is there as it is everywhere. RSPCA is seriously stepping up to tackle the scourge.

RSPCA South Australia: "South Australians have spoken, and the message couldn’t be louder ... More and more people are asking a simple question: why is taxpayer money still being used to prop up an industry that so many South Australians don’t support?" #bangreyhoundracing rspcasa.org.au/take-action/gr… facebook.com/rspcasouthaust…
