There has been massive work done and tremendous progress in relation to putting in place the rehoming approach. It is really welcome. Great work is being done by those who are rehoming as well. All of those should be supported. It is really important work. There has been progress in how it has evolved. Two years ago over, 1,700 greyhounds were rehomed. With IRGT assistance it was up to 2,234 last year and as of October this year, we have had 1,500. All of them should be supported and it is something that we need to continue to develop.
