Greyhound racing industry wants compensation if ban enforced
The Greyhound racing industry wants tens of millions of dollars in compensation if the government pushes ahead with its proposed ban. The deadline to end the sport is July this year. Racing Minister Winston Peters has previously said serious injury rates among greyhounds have remained too high, and improvements made haven't been significant enough for the industry to retain its social licence. Canterbury Greyhound Racing President and a long-time greyhound trainer Jean Fahey spoke to Lisa Owen.
