Bil Gwahardd Rasio Milgwn (Cymru) | Prohibition of Greyhound Racing (Wales) Bill
Ymateb gan: Unigolyn | Response from: Individual
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. This ban should take effect within 12 months of the legislation coming into force. Waiting for another five years is far too long. The Wales Greyhound Partnership are able to rehome all affected dogs within a year. Dog racing is a cruel practice a society shouldn’t engage in. It’s time to stop this now rather than procrastinating things for years on end.
