No, greyhound racing is not cruel. The welfare and care of all greyhounds is the utmost priority of the greyhound industry. Greyhounds are the most regulated canine breed in the world. Greyhound Racing Ireland is responsible for the welfare of racing greyhounds, and every effort is made to ensure that they are treated in the most humane manner during training or racing. GRI launched a code of practice that applies to any person who keeps, breeds, rears, trains, races, trades, or transports a greyhound in Ireland. You can read the code of practice which explains in-depth the care and welfare of greyhounds in Ireland on our website https://bit.ly/3yCAoRQ
