GHRRA PRESS RELEASE


RE-KENNELLING OF GREYHOUNDS FOR AT LEAST ONE RACE

The Authority has adopted a resolution of the Animal Welfare Committee to amend the current Policy regarding the kennelling of Greyhounds for at least one race.

The amendment now requires that Greyhounds engaged in the last event at any Race Meeting be rekennelled for 15 minutes following the last event.

The Policy reads as follows:

“All Greyhounds competing at a Race Meeting are to be rekennelled for at least one event after they compete, or for 15 minutes after the last event at the meeting, so they are sufficiently calmed, cooled and watered prior to leaving the course”.

This Policy will be effective 17 November, 2008.
