//Enough is enough, and hopefully government will act shortly to stamp out what is a blight on society, and that’s all greyhound racing is, a disgusting blight//

Greyhound racing is okay. Animal cruelty is a disgusting blight on society. My mate has a dog which is half greyhound, and it loves to run. I think full-blood greyhounds probably do too. They probably think racing is tremendous fun.

But the culling of dogs that are 'too slow' is abhorrent. Just introduce different divisions, with slower dogs being raced together. As long as they're fairly evenly matched then you still run a decent book, and nobody needs to lose out. In fact, with more races being run to accommodate the slow dogs everybody stands to gain.

Well at least greyhounds have more rights than unborn children.

So they should. Greyhounds can fetch slippers and newspapers, do cute tricks, protect your property, feed a Korean family, make a valuable contribution to the economy through racing and much more besides. What can unborn children do? Nothing. Unborn children don't deserve any more rights until the lazy little bludgers start pulling their own weight.

Hassy, to set you straight;

The Honourable Michael McHugh AC QC is appointed by Letters Patent issued in the name of the Governor of New South Wales on 6 May 2015 to inquire into the Greyhound Racing Industry in NSW.

The Commissioner is assisted by Stephen Rushton SC, David Kell of Counsel and the Crown Solicitor.

The Commissioner is required to report to the Governor on the Special Commission of Inquiry before 31 March 2016.

Public hearings of the Commission will commence at 10am on Monday 28 September 2015 to Friday 2 October 2015 in Courtroom 3.3 of the Industrial Relations Commission building at 47 Bridge St Sydney NSW 2000.

As for your claim that its the greenies, I do not believe any of the fore-mentioned persons are members of the Greens, nor is the Premier or Governor of NSW.

"The greyhound industry is having a major push to find homes for slow greyhounds" all I can say to that BS is ROTFLMFAO!

"Paul, & adopt a few" so the greedy grubs who exist in the world that is greyhound racing can continue on their merry disgusting way. I don't think so.

SM, are you saying the exhaustive inquiry being conducted in NSW at the moment is another greenie led knee jerk response.

o sung wu, on a good night the Dapto dogs would be lucky to attract 200 die hards, including the crooks and spivs.

Toni, they have already got the slow ones running around the bush for a cracker in prize money

Good evening PAUL1405...

If the Dapto Doggies attracted around 200 on a good night, you can be assured most of those 200 odd, would be ex-crims or local gangsters trying to earn a buck or two !
