"At Mandurah last night, Wormall's Girl suffered a broken leg in her 16th race at three years old and three six-year-old littermates—having raced over 400 times between them—are still competing. Why are so many injuries still happening? Why are greyhounds of six still running?"

Sportsbet & Tabcorp donate tens of thousands to Australia's major political parties.

It's unacceptable that political parties are accepting these donations when Australians lose billions and animals lose their lives for the sake of gambling profits for these companies.

Premier Chris Minns & Minister David Harris, look at the greyhounds killed racing due to your inaction in 2024. More than 20 NSW dogs were killed off-track after suffering leg injuries. We won't stop fighting until this horror show ends. We're only getting louder.
