I attended a parliamentary drop-in hosted by Blue Cross and Dogs Trust to discuss the future of Greyhound racing and ongoing welfare concerns. Animal welfare organisations, supported by the Cut the Chase coalition, are calling for a phased end to racing across the UK following high injury and fatality rates—over 2,700 Greyhound deaths and 26,000 injuries were recorded between 2018 and 2023. I heard powerful case studies from rehoming centres and pledged to continue working with campaigners to ensure a safe and sustainable future for Greyhounds beyond the racetrack.
