It seems that the Greyhound racing industry in New Zealand is any better than the racing industry elsewhere.
Almost 1500 dogs have been euthanized in recent years. Since there are poor records the number may be higher.
The dogs that are dying are under four years old.

Like the greyhound industry elsewhere there are clearly abuses. Unwanted dogs are being killed. Who knows what else is going on.

Too many of the dogs are unaccounted for. That is not acceptable. The whole industry needs to be investigated and new standards set. Or else greyhound racing needs to stop. These beautiful, gentle dogs should not be dying in such large numbers after spending their brief lives as a source of human entertainment. We are exploiting them, then when they are not convenient, we are killing them. That is not acceptable.
