Britain must follow New Zealand in banning greyhound racing, animal welfare campaigners say

ANIMAL welfare campaigners have called on the government to emulate New Zealand’s decision to outlaw greyhound racing.

The ban will come into force in 2026, allowing time for the greyhounds to be rehomed, and will leave only four countries across the world still allowing the sport.

Last year, 109 greyhounds died on tracks and 4,238 were injured.
