## Resource

The final greyhound race in Auckland ended in drama as activists clashed with supporters ahead of the nationwide ban on racing, sparked by a chilling comment suggesting dogs would be “blown away.” Greyhound Racing NZ’s CEO defended the remark as a reaction to years of abuse, stressing no dogs will be harmed and any euthanasia without vet approval is illegal. With over 1,000 dogs needing rehoming, trainers receive $36 daily — deemed insufficient by officials — while some seek opportunities in Australia. The TAB is funding the entire transition, aiming to ensure every greyhound’s welfare as racing shuts down for good.
