All surveys of the general population regarding public attitudes to greyhound racing show most Australians do not want greyhound racing to continue.

In 2018 the Sydney Morning Herald reported that greyhounds test positive for drugs 10 times more than horses at races.

In 2017, the University of Technology, Sydney found that “Approximately 80% of all catastrophic and major injuries were caused by congestion and incidents such as checking, collision and galloping.”

The most catastrophic injuries occur when greyhounds collide at speed of up to 68km per hour, particularly at track bends where they are attempting to turn and follow a lure position that is too close to the inside rail.

Many greyhounds across Australia are fed on a diet of knackery meat. This meat is unfit for human consumption and is sourced from dying, diseased, disabled and dead livestock.
