THREE GREYHOUNDS KILLED AT THE CANNINGTON TRACK in WA LAST NIGHT
Racing at Mandurah and Cannington tracks in Western Australia must be suspended immediately. Ten greyhounds have now died on each track this year, with both now sharing first place for the most deaths on any track in the country (does not include greyhounds later killed in days or weeks after suffering injuries)
Footage below shows each of the falls. The first part shows 2 greyhounds falling - the greyhound in blue (no 4) was apparently not injured, all others were killed soon after.

The replay for this race (9) was quickly disappeared from the website and other platforms. If you have it, would be grateful if you could send.

SIGN: Justice for Greyhounds Left to Die in Scorching Metal Bike Locker ladyfreethinker.org/sign-jus…
Cocaine worth $170m was smuggled into WA on live export ship Al Kuwait. Chief officer charged after drugs dropped into ocean en-route to Fremantle.
Days later I took these pics of sheep being loaded as police searched the ship. Sailed as usual for Mid East.

For years, the NSPCA has fought to shield animals from the immense suffering inherent in the live export trade.
Today’s judgment from the High Court in Makhanda marks a crucial step forward in that fight.

🚨NEWS🚨
Live export horror for ~3,000 cattle stranded at sea for over 60 days now. Over 50 animals already dead. 140 calves born onboard, but many have disappeared. 💔🐄🚢
This is not an isolated incident, but it’s a devastating example why we must #BanLiveExport! 🚫
Debra Edmonds🐾 retweeted
💔 Still stranded. Another 30 days at sea. The live export ship Spiridon II left #Uruguay for #Türkye with 2,900 cows, half of them pregnant. Two months later, they’re still trapped on board.
In that time:
🐄 58 cows have died
🐄 140 pregnant cows gave birth or lost their calves
🐄 50 calves are reportedly on board, the fate of the remaining 90 is unknown
Reports say dead bodies are still aboard, putrid and leaking, and feed is likely gone. The animals on board are likely suffering from exhaustion, heat stress, starvation, and disease in filthy conditions. Heartbreakingly, the ship is now turning back for another 30-day voyage back to Uruguay as it was blocked from unloading in Türkiye due to an administrative issue.
This is one of the worst live export disasters since MV Bahijah (2024) and MV Gulf Livestock 1 (2020). It’s a stark reminder that the barbaric live export trade must be banished to the history books of shame.
Together, we are urgently calling on the Turkish authorities to unload the animals to prevent further suffering.💔

NSW HORSE RACING UNDER REVIEW
MAKE A SUBMISSION ✍️
For the first time in over a decade, the NSW Thoroughbred Racing Act is under review. 🐎
This review will shape how horses are treated for years to come.
Racing NSW both promotes racing and regulates welfare— leaving horses at risk. Despite billions in profits, the industry still:
✅ Breeds more horses than it can rehome
✅ Uses cruel practices like whips, tongue ties and racing immature two-year-olds
✅ Hides deaths, injuries adn wastage behind closed doors
We cannot let the same system that causes harm continue to regulate itself. Welfare must be independent and put horses first.
📢 Speak up before 5pm, 24 Nov 👉: bit.ly/485pFQ0

WHERE'S THE DRAKE REPORT?
(Answer: NSW Govt won't publish it)
Still racing. Still suffering. Still hidden.
Dogs continue to be bred, raced, and injured, their lives constantly at risk in the greyhound racing industry and now the truth about their suffering is being hidden too.
The taxpayer-funded Greyhound Welfare and Integrity Commission (GWIC) has blocked the publication of details of deceased dogs from its public tracking portal, eTrac.
This means the public can no longer see which dogs have died, when, or why, shielding the industry from scrutiny.
Meanwhile, the long-awaited Drake Inquiry into the greyhound industry still hasn’t been released. The NSW Government continues to delay accountability while dogs continue to suffer behind the scenes.
Email your MP here and urge them to join the global phase-out of greyhound racing: bit.ly/49ntm5L

so many major injuries tonight at Sale (Vic). These sound like fractures but they are suddenly using the word "injury" instead. Shocking abuse of these greyhounds
"Stanley Staff" - a left foreleg radius/ulna injury. 90 days incapacitation if they don't kill him
"Tanner Bale" - a right hind leg hock injury. 90 days if they don't kill him
"Calimo" - a right hind leg hock injury. 90 days if they don't kill him. This was his first race back after a serious muscle injury in May
"Dr. Yellowstone" - a right hind leg hock injury. 90 days if they don't kill him

Sale (Vic) tonight - first is "Tanner Bale" in Race 6 (in green), second greyhound is "Dr Yellowstone" in race 8 (in white). Will update when injury reports available. This is greyhound "racing"

*FOOTAGE WARNING*
Let's bring back the ban on greyhound racing in Australia.
#AusPol #AusPol2025 #Dogs #Greyhounds #AnimalCruelty #AnimalWelfare #AnimalRights
*** footage warning ***
NSW: Dubbo just now. This is "Zipping Largo", she is not yet 2 years old. There are children standing at the fence close by watching this happen (I have edited out).
GRNSW is responsible for the footage and for what happens in that footage. The censoring of footage by GRNSW is unpredictable, inconsistent and chaotic. The replay for this race is not currently available on the GRNSW website.
These images are further important evidence of a pattern of abuse inflicted on greyhounds in NSW on a daily basis. This pattern has become clearer through the footage, criticism & details I have posted over many months.
These images are further evidence of unsafe NSW tracks and the risks faced by greyhounds when running at Dubbo. I have regularly posted images and details of greyhounds falling and suffering injuries at the Dubbo track.
GRNSW claims to prioritise animal welfare. These images, and many others like them, do not support those claims. The safety of children exposed to animal suffering at these tracks is also deeply concerning.

Tipping point. #politas. #GreyhoundRacing is broken. Here’s excellent RN coverage re why dog racing is doomed. @JeremyRockliff simply read the room. @TasmanianLabor not so much. But big kudos to party’s young supporters who do get it 🙏 abc.net.au/listen/programs/s…
