CPG Lethal Tracks reports offers the only consolidated record of the dogs that suffer injuries and are killed on Australian racetracks.
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.
And complicit state governments continue to pour millions of taxpayer dollars into this cruel industry. Despite a survey commissioned by GREY2K USA Worldwide and CPG showing that 69% of Australians oppose taxpayer funding of greyhound racing.
