Inside Australia’s dog racing industry.


In gambling-obsessed Australia, a cruel industry persists.

Thousands of greyhounds in Australia are used as money-making machines each year—profiting their owners, governments and gambling companies. Some are drugged with cocaine and arsenic, some break their legs while racing, thousands are killed.

The Chief Executive Officer of Greyhound Racing South Australia has previously written that Australia’s greyhound industry “is responsible for the unnecessary deaths of between 13,000 and 17,000 greyhounds each year” and that the “culture of the industry is defined by animal deaths being acceptable and necessary and where profits come before welfare”.

CONVERSATIONS WITH SPONSORS

Conversations with Sponsors is an ongoing project in which I speak with businesses who provide financial sponsorship to Aussie dog racing, exploring why they decided to sponsor, what benefits it brings to their business, and how animal welfare issues within the sport affects their decision-making.
