Australian trainers charged for shipping greyhounds to Macau

Written by Ben Blaschke

Australia’s Greyhound Racing NSW has charged 179 trainers and owners for breaching regulatory rules following an investigation into the illegal selling of greyhounds to Macau, according to ABC News.

It follows a highly-publicized episode of the ABC’s Four Corners last December that revealed Australian trainers and owners were ignoring a 2013 ban on the exportation of greyhounds to Macau.

If found guilty, the 179 accused will face a fine, suspension or disqualification from the racing industry.

It has previously been reported that dogs being raced at the controversial Canidrome are subject to terrible conditions, over-worked and euthanized when injured 100 percent of the time.
