About time, long overdue. Now we just need the rest of the UK to follow and outlaw this abhorrent ‘sport’.

> Greyhound racing will be banned “as soon as practically possible”, the Welsh government has said.
They should replace it with people racing. Create jobs, boost economy.
That is a lot of dogs going to be killed or dumped at the same time.
In case anyone is wondering, ex-racing greyhounds make fantastic pets. Check out [the Greyhound Trust](https://www.greyhoundtrust.org.uk/) for more information. Happy to answer any questions here too.
Fuck sake the usual muppets ruining the fun of people for their own morals.
Next will be horse racing. And after that they will come for meat and pets.
It is exhausting and just sad.
We need to start pushing back or soon theyre going to have ruined just about every animal sport we have.
Why not just insist on excellent standards rather than get rid of it? If you get rid of this you should be banning horse racing, and that’s not going to happen.
Funny they attack this but won’t do horse racing, why is that?
Well done Wales. A positive step towards ending animal cruelty/exploitation in the UK.
Finally! Such a good change! They get killed when they’re not good enough, sadly. It’s like animal fighting really, we should’ve banned it ages ago. Props to Wales!
It will always blow my mind how we arbitrarily decide which animals are worthy of ethical consideration. It makes absolutely no sense, and is so inconsistent.
Abusing dogs is abhorrent – we all agree. But nobody gives a fuck about abusing pigs? What is the logical basis for that? It seems so indefensible. It’s utterly incoherent from an ethical perspective
