Winston to ban Greyhound Racing! That's come from left field for mine

Actually been rumors in the industry of this for years both here and in OZ.
Mainly because of cruelty by a few trainers

Greyhound racing to be banned in NZ over animal welfare concerns

There have been three reviews in recent years highlighting animal welfare concerns.

Health system needs 3450 more doctors and 4100 more nurses in next decade

There has been huge growth in nursing numbers but gaps remain, Health NZ says.

I thought Winnie was a big advocate for the Racing Industry? Must have been some overwhelming support for him to pull the rug out from underneath them

Horse racing he is definitely an advocate for.

Some states in Australia put a temporary on dog racing due to the same problem.
Now banned in NSW and NT.
Many in the industry have been dreading this for a while.
All because of a few guys doing the wrong thing

Making a Killing

Four Corners is the home of Australian investigative journalism.

I remember watching this years ago.
Four Corners undercover investigation here in Australia.
Absolute demonic people involved in the industry.
Talking about mass graves for unwanted racing dogs, the videos of the live baiting makes you ill.
Obviously not everyone doing it but shows the evil side of the practice.
Good for Winnie and I hope Aussie bans it everywhere as well.

Would that not also be the case with horse trainers as well?
Seems strange to single out cruelty to dogs but overlook it with horses if it is happening even on a small scale. I guess it all comes down to the dollar.

I wonder if the dog racing industry supported NZF to the extent horse trainers do, if this ban would be taking place?

Then there’s Manly player Keith Titmuss who in 2020 died in training due to heat stroke and Des Hasler has been under investigation ever since. The Storm and their SAS training. Players walking away from the game because of pushing them to hard. CTE…

Don’t all competitive sports push the physical limits of the body in the pursuit of results?

I guess it’s all relative though (to how much NZ First likes you )

They certainly do.
However, an animal is unable to communicate their stress and suffering as well as a human and they don't get paid for providing us with entertainment and money.

I have never seen cruelty in the horse racing game and I have been around it for a long time.
As mentioned earlier dogs are subjected to live baiting.
Cruel to the dog and the bait of course
Possums cats etc.
All the horses I have seen either end up in a paddock of the owner breeder and well looked after. Or end up with young people interested in equestrian.
Sure to be a few bad outcomes but not what I have heard or seen.
I wonder what is Winnies opinion is about live animal exports.

Her and Hickey are a great pair, no credibility.

 

[John Nick]

So much for the long awaited decision on the ferries. Non event.
Winstone is the new Minister for Rail. Wow
Wasn't he involved with the signing off of the IREX deal.
Still nothing concrete and we Kiwis kick the can even further down the road.
No wonder infrastructure projects keep rising in cost.
"But we have been elected to get things rolling."
What 2029?? Hahaha.

 

[kos]

Nz
Knows the cost of everything
Doesn’t know the value of anything

Fxxg hopeless

If they don’t get rail line equipped ships the costs of freight inter island will just rise and rise and rise year after year
