Petition request
That the House of Representatives pass legislation that prohibits commercial greyhound racing in Aotearoa New Zealand and ensures all dogs that have been bred by and used within the greyhound racing industry are rehabilitated and rehomed.
Petition reason
We feel that greyhound racing should be banned in Aotearoa New Zealand because it has failed to meet the reasonable expectations of its required ‘public license’. We believe it is inconsistent with the spirit of the Animal Welfare Act and that, as an industry, greyhound racing has shown it cannot and will not stop killing hundreds of greyhounds, simply to provide entertainment and gambling profits.
