Concerns about what will happen to existing track dogs as greyhound racing ban looms

Senedd members have called for a consultation to explore banning greyhound racing in Wales.

Wales is one of just 10 countries in the world where greyhound racing is still legal. It was decided by the Senedd yesterday that an in-depth consultation needs to be carried out to ensure that a petition calling for an end to the sport can be considered properly. Discussing the report by the Senedd Petitions Committee calling for the ban, leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats Jane Dodds MS said: "This, for me, is about the sort of Wales we want.

"I don't want the sort of Wales where animals are produced on an industrial scale for sports. I don't want to be in a Wales where this promotes and encourages betting and gambling."
