Welfare discussions should be grounded in facts. “Retired” is not synonymous with “dead” or “missing”, and where dogs are deceased, that is recorded accordingly. @DimityMaher has been very clear that all dogs in this litter are accounted for.
The crowds, the atmosphere, the racing, the Bool at its best 🏇
Thanks for coming @StephenRPower and congratulations to @Country_Racing and the @wboolracingclub on another amazing carnival. Huge effort by everyone involved 👏
Mainland support. Numbers secured. And just like that, the “urgent” vote quietly disappeared from the agenda. Timing is everything. #mainlandholdourbeer#wegoagain
.@jeremyrockliff told the greyhound community he supported them two days before the election. Three weeks later he announced he would shut them down - after his deal with the Greens.
Today he called them ‘thugs’. A disgraceful attack on good people. #tasracing
Ricky’s achievements stand on their own. What won’t stand up is @jeremyrockliff praises his contribution while his long standing involvement in greyhound racing is erased. I see it first hand with one of his ex race dogs living on my friends couch #receipts#dreaminnings 👇
This one’s bigger than cricket 💜
There’s no question Ricky was one of the best to ever hold a cricket bat.
But now, along with his wife Rianna, he’s making an incredible difference in helping young Tasmanians battling cancer via the Ponting Foundation.
I’m proud to confirm that we’ll be matching every dollar raised at tomorrow night’s Ponting Foundation BBL match between the Hobart Hurricanes and the Brisbane Heat.
Every dollar will stay in Tasmania, helping young Tasmanians who need it most.
And I’d like to say a big thank you to Ricky, Rianna and their family, from all of us.
We truly could not be prouder of how you represent Tassie, our beautiful home.
And giving back to our community in this way is the perfect example of just that.
As fires tear through communities we’re part of, the Vic racing industry is on the ground tirelessly protecting people, horses & greyhounds. Huge respect to emergency services crews. Antis “you don’t care” spare us the 🐂💩times like this shows the core of Vic racing 🐎🐾
"A really big shout out to all the people who have stepped up to the plate, it is incredible..."

We have some WONDERFUL news just in time for Christmas…
My Crabby, the greyhound at the centre of some false, negative and inflammatory claims from the Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds a month ago, has found her fur-ever home! 🏡 🐾
Crabby is proof that greyhounds can and will be rehomed to make wonderful pets and live long and happy lives - thank you @GAPNSW 💕

If your proposal can’t survive consultation, it was never about welfare.
Process matters.
Mainland oversight still applies. We’re coming in hot 🔥 #FAFO
🥰Some fantastic news for our greyhound racing friends in Tasmania!
💪🏻 It has been voted today in the Upper House of Parliament, in favour of the bill being referred back to the Government Committee for proper consultation and scrutiny!
Well done and thank you 🙏🏻💛
If greyhound racing is so “cruel” why rush flawed laws through the upper house, but delay action for 4 years? That’s not reform, it’s a government scrambling for survival. NSW tried this in 2016 and imploded. Tassie is setting up for the same ending 💣
The dogs were fine until the back room politics sank its teeth in - all so you could stay the Premier of Tassie. You listened to nobody except your own ambition. Mainland industry says “hold our beer” #politas
Today, we’re getting on with passing new laws to phase out greyhound racing.
We’ve listened to Tasmanians, and we’re moving to protect these beautiful animals.
To every greyhound racing jurisdiction: Ideology is not governance. Feeling aren’t evidence. The Welsh greyhound racing ban now stands before the courts - where policy driven by ego gets exposed 💣

Statement from Mark Bird, CEO of the Greyhound Board of Great Britain⤵️
Vale Fernando Bale 🐾
A true legend whose impact on our sport will never be forgotten. The entire greyhound community will be feeling this loss today. Somewhere beyond the rainbow bridge, Paul Wheeler will be waiting for him, reunited once more 💔
Forget gangsters—this ain’t Mobland.
This is Dogland.
Fernando Bale didn’t run the streets - he ruled the track. The GOAT. The legacy. The heart of our family.
Just a bit of fun, our take on Mobland, greyhound style.
Just love for the greatest to ever do it @KathJ_Harris
The Dogs are aware of a recent CPG post stating that an injured dog had “disappeared” and asking if she was “dead.”
To clarify: 'Crabby' (formerly ‘My Crabby’) is happy, healthy, and receiving care at the @GAPNSW Western Sydney facility. ❤️
She did sustain an injury, but is recovering well and preparing for her life as a pet on someone’s couch.
We shared this update (and photos) with CPG and appreciate their acknowledgment, and await their correction.
🦀 'Crabby' will be available for adoption soon – please visit https://t.co/rhIqBlVIu8 for details, and we'll update our socials when she is ready! 🥰

Greyhounds got shafted. Now the local footy club’s been done over too. The Rockcliff government keeps proving - if you rely on them your next! #politas#rockliffrollsyou
Nice symmetry - end greyhound racing, then legalise pets in rentals. Let’s hope there are enough couches for the athletes you are forcing into early retirement #Politas#Policyforpower#Soldoutforpower
They say “shut it down” The Vic’s said “hold our beer” Punters betting big, bookies buzzing. Record smashed week 1. #dreamchasers25#upthemightyvics#TopGun 🐾
