The Welsh Government has indicated it plans to end greyhound racing in Wales.

Responding to the announcement, Ȥҹapp President Dr. Elizabeth Mullineaux said: “When it comes to the use of animals in sport, as a society we have a collective responsibility to ensure that the animals involved receive the highest standards of welfare. It’s also essential that policy decisions on this issue are led by evidence and Ȥҹapp’s ‘Animals in Performance Sport’ working group is looking closely at the issue, examining the evidence to ensure a comprehensive and considered view. The working group is expected to report later this year.”

More information on Ȥҹapp’s working group can be found on our website.
