Save Greyhound Racing in Tasmania – CAN THE BAN!

Tasmania’s greyhound racing industry is tightly regulated with high standards in place to ensure the integrity and welfare of the greyhounds is at the heart of everything we do.

And as participants, we wouldn’t have it any other way. Whether they’re racing or retired, we love our dogs.
Our community was dealt a blow when Tasmania’s Premier Jeremy Rockliff broke his pre-election promise to our industry.

When he announced his ill-conceived plan to phase out our industry, hearts across regional communities were broken.

But as Tasmanians, and as greyhound racing participants and supporters, we will be advocating for our industry and our people. Right now, the industry is facing an uncertain future.

That’s why we need you to sign up, stand up and show up.

We need your support.

Decisions that affect our industry will soon be considered by Tasmania’s Parliament.

Seven independent members of Tasmania’s Upper House hold the future of our industry, our passion and for some, our livelihood, in their hands.

Greyhound racing is highly regulated with high standards in place to ensure the integrity and welfare of the greyhounds is at the heart of everything we do.

Owners, trainers, breeders, supporters and fans all have a vital role to play. There are some loud voices out there who want to put an end to greyhound racing. That’s why it’s time we united to advocate for our industry.

Why now?

In the coming months, those seven people will vote on whether to support the Premier’s ill-conceived phase out. But we know the real impacts of the plan.

Businesses that would go bust, communities would be shattered and lives would be left with no meaning.
