Bil Gwahardd Rasio Milgwn (Cymru) | Prohibition of Greyhound Racing (Wales) Bill
Ymateb gan | Response from: Sheila Andersen
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 above noted bill and believe the ban should take effect within 12 months of the legislation coming into force.
Allowing racing to continue 2030 means that more dogs will be bred, raced, injured, or killed, and put greater pressure on rescue and rehoming organisations.
A clear, firm end date gives both the industry and rescue groups time to prepare responsibly while protecting dogs from further harm.
