Delighted that Wales has become the first UK nation to ban greyhound racing.
A huge tribute to the charities, campaigners and activists behind #CutTheChase coalition.
Greyhound racing will now be phased out by 2030, ending a practice that caused suffering for the benefit of the gambling industry.
Great news from Wales! 🐕 Greyhound racing is officially banned!
We’re delighted the Senedd has voted to protect these amazing dogs. 👏 Huge congratulations to the #CutTheChase coalition & everyone who campaigned for this major win for animal welfare.

Will I stop talking about this? No probably not.
You cannot be liberal and support bloodsports.
"But Becca it isn't a bloodsport as the prey isn't real"
They're the prey.

Delighted that the Senedd has voted to pass the first stage of a bill to ban greyhound racing in Wales.
It's the result of years of hard work by charities, animal welfare groups, & campaigners. We must now see the legislation through so Wales puts animal welfare before gambling profits #CutTheChase

Did you know that greyhounds are especially prone to dental disease? This treatment comes at a big cost (over £500 for these two boys alone).

Greyhound racing is state-funded misery.
Dogs bred for the gambling industry and treated as disposable “product” 😔
It’s been allowed to carry on for far too long, so now it is time to #CutTheChase
