Racing for their lives
Australia is one of only a few countries which allows commercial greyhound racing. Most Australians oppose the racing industry which is driven by gambling and plagued by ongoing animal welfare issues:
- The industry breeds far more dogs than it can rehome.
- On average, racing kills five dogs every week and injures 30 dogs every day.
- Greyhound neglect, abuse and doping is widespread and systemic.

Why does greyhound racing still exist?
The Australian greyhound racing industry continues to operate with massive financial support and minimal regulation from the government.
Australians bet billions on greyhound racing each year, mostly on gambling apps, without ever seeing a dog.
Australia’s only national, independent greyhound advocacy group
Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds (CPG) is run by passionate volunteers right across Australia, working together to end greyhound suffering.
Since 2015, the group has exposed the cruelty and corruption of greyhound racing and lobbied with state governments to change policy, and ultimately, shut down the industry.
