Greyhounds still disappearing in NSW as Integrity Commission tries to seal cracks

ABC  

More than three years after the NSW Government promised to clean up the greyhound industry many dogs are still disappearing and feared dead in mass graves. Key points: The NSW independent regulator cannot conduct welfare checks on retired greyhounds under current legislation The Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds says this gives way to more mass killings The regulator told the ABC it was working on "arrangements" with the NSW Government to ensure dogs didn't slip through the cracks Following the failed greyhound ban in 2016, the NSW Government committed to whole-of-life tracking for greyhounds to put an end to mass culls. 'Could give it to mate down the road' Mr Anderson said it was a clear case of the NSW Government "muzzling" the regulator. The GWIC told the ABC it was now working with the NSW Office of Local Government to "implement arrangements" which would allow them to register retired greyhounds as pets.
