Going, going, gone: Animals Count supports ban on betting on racing dogs
With less than three weeks to go until the closing date of Defra's consultation on the welfare of racing greyhounds, Animals Count supports the 'Racing Dog Protection Act' (RDPA) initiative which calls on the government to ban betting on racing animals. Betting is the driving force behind the industry, causing serious injuries and suffering of thousands of dogs, who are mostly bred in Ireland and raced to death in the UK.
