Greyhound Racing NSW has defended its safety record, despite animal welfare advocates criticising the racing body over an advertisement it had placed which hailed its ‘best year ever’.Greyhound Racing NSW has defended its safety record, despite animal welfare advocates criticising the racing body over an advertisement it had placed which hailed its ‘best year ever’.
The development comes after the industry body on Wednesday ran a series of full-page newspaper advertisements claiming 2023-24 was “our best year ever”, which animal welfare advocates claimed amounted to “damage control”. Lisa Ryan, a spokesperson for Animal Liberation, called the advertisement “a desperate attempt by an industry on its knees to try and shift the focus”.GRNSW also hailed its “zero unnecessary euthanasia” policy and a record low number of greyhound deaths at racetracks as major achievement of the year in the advertisement, which ran in the Daily Telegraph, Sydney Morning Herald and some regional newspapers.
