Bil Gwahardd Rasio Milgwn (Cymru) | Prohibition of Greyhound Racing (Wales) Bill

Ymateb gan | Response from: Robert Williams

1. What are your views on the general principles of the Bill, and whether there is a need for legislation to deliver the stated policy intention?

I strongly support the Prohibition of Greyhound Racing (Wales) Bill and believe the ban should take effect within 12 months of the legislation coming into force.

Allowing racing to continue until 2030 is far too long. Each extra year means more dogs will be bred, raced, injured, or killed, and put greater pressure on rescue and rehoming organisations.
