Labour Government Dismisses Widespread Calls for Greyhound Racing Ban
A government petition calling for a ban on greyhound racing has surpassed its initial target of 10,000 signatures, prompting a response from the government.
The petition highlights the cruelty of the sport, which resulted in 123 dog deaths and thousands of injuries last year, as well as a significant burden on rescue centers.
