Government not reading room on racing

Government not reading room on racing

From the Fremantle Herald, September 24 2022: 

THE largest e-petition ever signed by WA residents has just closed, with more than 13,000 people calling upon the government to ban greyhound racing. These petitioners have requested WA’s government to:
• release greyhound racing from the sale of the TAB, and ban greyhound racing;
• allow a two-year phase out of the industry — there are only 20 West Australians who derive the majority of their income from this blood sport, so phasing it out is very achievable;
• assist industry participants in re-skilling;
• rehome all greyhounds; and,
• approve four breeders to continue as registered breeders for greyhounds as pets only.
