“Hundreds are expected to attend a greyhound adoption day in Sydney on Saturday – the first of its kind since the NSW government promised to outlaw racing the dogs.
At least 40 dogs will be offered up to new homes at the Wentworth Park event, hosted by Greyhounds As Pets and Greyhound Racing NSW.
The adoption day comes after the NSW government this week refused to back down on its decision to ban greyhound racing after meeting industry leaders.
Premier Mike Baird and his deputy Troy Grant will pump an estimated $30 million into helping the industry through the ban after meeting with owners and breeders.
Mr Baird said he had no choice but to scrap the sport after an inquiry found up to 68,000 ‘uncompetitive’ greyhounds had been slaughtered in the past 12 years and nearly one-in-five trainers used live animal baits.” http://www.skynews.com.au/news/national/2016/07/16/hundreds-to-attend-greyhound-adoption-day.html
Yet, in 2014 there were “20,420” babies murdered via abortion and paid for by government
Medicare! http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/policy/abortion/australia/ab-aust-nsw.html
That 20,420 doesn’t include those paid for outside the Medicare system! Yes, it seems a supposedly conservative state government is more concerned with dogs than human babies! WHICH SLAUGHTER BOTHERS YOU THE MOST!?
