It is expected that there will be a traceability system for racing greyhounds. That is a distinction that is not often picked up, that it relates to racing greyhounds. There is obviously concern about the overbreeding of greyhounds, but not every greyhound will race. Is there an animal welfare issue for the Department, given that the greyhounds are listed as livestock as opposed to dogs?
