Greyhound Racing Industry Defends Sport Amid Wales Ban
The greyhound racing industry has responded to plans to ban the sport in Wales, citing data that shows a significant reduction in deaths and injuries.
According to the industry, deaths have "more than halved" and injuries have seen a "significant drop" last year.
Mark Bird, chief executive of the Greyhound Board of Great Britain (GBGB), accused animal welfare charities of citing "inaccurate, historic or even misleading" data to support the ban.
The Welsh Government has introduced a draft law to ban greyhound racing, which would result in the closure of Wales' last remaining track, the Valley Greyhound Stadium in Ystrad Mynach.
