Technology to track greyhounds – monitoring puppy births, stopping greyhounds from going “missing” from records, saving them from illegal exportation and recording euthanasias – is set to go ahead in Victoria with the backing of the government and the racing industry regulator.
Georgie Purcell, an Animal Justice party MP, told the parliament on Wednesday about dogs “routinely going missing and being illegally exported and killed”. In a motion, she called for a “digital system to improve greyhound traceability through an automated whole-of-life tracking system”.
