The demise of greyhound racing

Today, we’re talking about greyhound racing. Specifically, whether or not there is a movement for it to be banned. 

Earlier this week, the Tasmanian Government announced it will ban greyhound racing in the next five years. The state cited concerns about animal welfare and declining viewership as key factors in the decision. And just yesterday, new costing analysis suggested that Victoria could actually save hundreds of millions of dollars if they were to also follow suit. Today we're breaking it all down.
