Lethal Tracks 2022

On average, in 2022, racing killed four dogs every week and injured 29 every day. Some of the dogs are killed at the track and many more are removed with serious injuries and killed later.

CPG tries wherever possible to acknowledge the names and the tragic last moments of the dogs that are killed racing. But many of the state racing bodies won’t release this information. In some cases freedom of information requests were required to learn the number of dogs killed.
