The Green Party's support for this bill will not stop us continuing to campaign to have a ban on greyhound racing—that was outside the scope of this bill, but as we've seen with recent media coverage nearly 300 greyhounds were put down in 2019 because they couldn't be rehomed. The greyhound racing code is one of the codes covered by the bill, but the fact that Aotearoa New Zealand is one of only eight countries in the world which still allows greyhound racing speaks to an inadequate attention to this fundamental animal welfare issue.
