Despite the UK government committing to end forced swim tests, 93 FSTs were performed in 2025.
Subjecting an animal to a near drowning experience for a test that is widely accepted to be ineffective and outdated is barbaric.

#GreyhoundRacing is illegal in 44 states & only two tracks remain, both in West Virginia. They're clinging on due to gov subsidies funded by gambling revenue.

Live in WV? Urge lawmakers to end these subsidies or ban greyhound racing outright! https://t.co/JiwYHqsefB
