From what I can see from George’s post, it sounds like there’s two and a half fatalities and eighty injuries on course each week. The injuries sound high. I couldn’t have had a blind guess at how many fatalities there would be though.

^ Why do you bet on it then?? I certainly don’t bet on greyhound racing…. Horse racing i suppose like 99 % of punters it’s the buzz of the game although i seldom back Nh,certainly wouldn’t miss it…. |

The greyhound problem is the 'missing' numbers, the 'wastage', who don't show up from death in action stats. They are fragile animals.

Banned in Scotland even though it doesn’t exist.
Only the loony Greens could submit a bill to ban something that doesn’t exist in the country. |

Approximately 23% of children in Scotland—roughly 240,000—were living in relative poverty after housing costs in 2021-24, a figure that has remained largely stable over the last decade. While high, rates are falling due to interventions like the Scottish Child Payment, though poverty disproportionately affects larger families and households with disabled members.
What shall we discuss Today in Parliament ?? I know, lets ban Greyhound Racing.   |

By:
Scotland has become the second nation in the UK to outlaw greyhound racing within a span of just over 24 hours, as MSPs endorsed a Bill to terminate the sport.
The Greyhound Racing (Offences) (Scotland) Bill received support from 70 votes to 27 at Stage 3, with 19 abstentions. |

You only have to look at what the GC have done to horse racing to see what happens when fanatics are allowed to impose their lunatic views on others

there would be issues if it was solely the kosher element involved
as it is the animal rights movement share the genaeral aversion to even the mildest criticism of the religion of peace. it is so violently intolerant and dangerous the mdia exercise self censorship if you are a smallholder in the borders and kill your own cattle or poultry in a similar way, to eat or sell you are in danger of losing your liberty and property but if you are of a certain faith its not a problem islamophilia |

Scotland dogs no more! at one time Glasgow area alone had Shawfield, White City, Carntyne,Ashfield,Firhill
Clydebank and Mt Vernon |

the point is most racing greyhounds are well looked after while racing and when retired often go to a good home where they are pampered and taken for walks etc . yes some may get injured its unfortunate but it happens footballers rugby players get injured marathon runners get injuries or have heart attacks shall we scrap those sports ?

By:
FOYLES, you make a good point. All exercise should be banned, it's dangerous.

Horses falling and snapping the neck dying instantly in pain…. Half an our later punters searching the boards for a price….. Stricken horse well forgotten….. The buzz….dreadful scenes. |

The "Pinkos" are determined to get their way |

Listened to Ian Dale Tonight 9-10 Greyhounds in Ireland bashed over the head with a shovel for a quick death ffs Who / what is his source for this info please? Kinda reminds me of the saddest song ever written...gets me every time this one...Old Shep. As the years fast did roll Old Shep, he grew old His eyes were fast growing dim And one day the doctor Looked at me and said "I can do no more for him, Jim" With hands that were trembling I picked up my gun And aimed it at Shep's faithful head I just couldn't do it I wanted to run I wish they would shoot me instead He came to my side And he looked up at me And laid his old head on my knee I had struck the best friend That a man ever had I cried so I scarcely could see Old Shep, he has gone Where the good doggies go And no more with old Shep will I roam But if dogs have a heaven There's one thing I know Old Shep has a wonderful home |

Listened to Ian Dale Tonight 9-10 Greyhounds in Ireland bashed over the head with a shovel for a quick death ffs.Shocked Just about brought up my coffee and toast reading this acey,vomit inducing scumbags…. I believe anything regarding animal cruelty…..subhuman garbage. |

By:
Animal welfare groups like Dogs Trust Ireland and the ISPCA have consistently highlighted 'wastage'.
The thousands of dogs that disappear from the system every year. Greyhounds are legally classified as "agricultural animals" rather than pets in Ireland, they have historically lacked the same legal protections as other dog breeds. Not sure if that's still the case, but it was. Presume the Dale programme must be referring to the RTE documentary from a few years back. |

By:
Just as well we don’t know what goes on regarding animal abuse…..
We only see snippets thank goodness…. Animal cruelty is on par with child cruelty both defenceless at the hands of subhuman garbage… |
|
By:
aussie dogs seem to be able to run up to 8 dogs with no difficulty, presumably because the hare is rail/middle.
|
|
By:
When you think of all the cruel things that happen in the world and in this nation in particular, you would think banning greyhound racing, which actually gives pleasure to many, would be way down the agenda but I guess it is an easy target much easier than getting rid of drug problems, domestic violence and so much more.
|
|
By:
Yes. Entirely understandable people want to address animal welfare, but, yea, it does feel like a relatively easy issue for politicians to rally around compared to the more pressing social problems, of which we’re all very aware. It’s the kind of stance that lets them signal ‘compassion’ and ‘responsibility’ without wading into the tougher, more divisive challenges that are out there.
Throw in the obligatory pity tearjerking photos and videos, and hey, we're on a winner here guys. |

By:
8 dog races were commonplace at Catford , yes it was banked , but quite tight .
|
|
By:
The point I was trying to make is that the aussie inside/middle hare seems to cause less collisions between the dogs.

Exactly JUMPER, 0ne in four children live in poverty in Scotland, yet the SNP are rejoicing a ban on Greyhound Racing !! SNP are not fit for purpose.
