Labour Government Dismisses Widespread Calls for Greyhound Racing Ban
A government petition calling for a ban on greyhound racing has surpassed its initial target of 10,000 signatures, prompting a response from the government.
The petition highlights the cruelty of the industry, which resulted in 123 dog deaths and thousands of injuries last year, putting a significant burden on rescue centres.

The government's response cites several excuses for not banning the sport, which are deemed unsatisfactory and misinformed.
- The government claims the sport is "well-regulated", despite the industry being self-regulated.
