Board not putting welfare of greyhounds first

AS an animal lover I am totally opposed to the proposed export of our Irish greyhounds to China.
Board not putting welfare of greyhounds  first

When these dogs arrive in China they are in Chinese jurisdiction and as such come under Chinese welfare legalisation, which as rightly pointed out by Catherine O’Brien, is non-existent. Are we to assume that hundreds of Irish trainers and kennel hands are relocating to China to live there with their greyhounds for the rest of their lives?

What will happen to “retired racers”, these misfortunate animals are generally put down in their thousands here unless they are lucky enough to go into rescue.
