Greyhound racing has won a three-month reprieve after an animal welfare boss made a last-ditch visit to the country’s final operating track.
The chair of the Scottish Animal Welfare Commission had been expected to sound the death knell for the sport after a Parliamentary committee asked her for a ruling on plans to ban dog racing.
But just days before Professor Cathy Dwyer was due to give her written opinion, she arranged to visit Thornton Stadium, in Fife, the one venue which still stages dog racing events.
