My column. Fire at will, see if I care.
It's time to shut down greyhound racing, for good.
It's being banned all over the world, but in NSW they are propping it up!
Why are the politicians so weak-kneed on it?

Methinks there would be the answer.
Baird was an example of this? He was probably worried about getting a severed dog's head on his pillow 🤔
Of course it should be banned. Cruelty to animals is a no brainer…..
But NSW is the celestial home of gambling, cocaine, property developers, corrupt Premiers & Peter V’landys.
So it fits.
🙄🙄🙄
And, bcuz they're so afraid of the Right-wing media
Dan Andrews is the perfect example, strong leader & look how they hounded him & his family
Our media breeds weakness, destroys boldness, bcuz they are merciless & cruel, they can destroy or save a politician overnight & often have

That’s why
The view from outside Sydney is clearer.
NZ also banned subs with nuclear weapons whereas we allow them & are building bases for them at our cost ($8B WA alone) & taking their nuclear waste!
All backed by Labor and Libs!
Wash & Donate cycle.
If that is how they treat the greatest, how do they treat the ones that don't run?
do you want to ban the species?

I got stuck at a greyhound event once. Not even fun when drunk.
The favourite never wins.
They’re just stupid dog. It’s not even a sport worth betting on.
Just ban it once and for all.
Better ban meat then?
Or is it only cruelty that doesn’t impact you that should be banned? 🤔
Sadly, it takes the bravest of souls to stand up to this lot.
I seem to recall Mike Baird suddenly deciding to spend more time with his family, shortly after taking action.
We live in hope.
(I also expect to own at least one retired rescue greyhound in my life.)
Let the OWNERS RACE, be WHIPPED, ETC

You know, typical politician. We need more atypical ones.
Well said @peterfitz1.bsky.social ♥️
In two words "vested interests"
In three words "gambling lobby pressure"
The gambling industry, like the health insurance industry, is a cancer.
There are dog owners.
But I have also heard that greyhound owners are different again.
Any thoughts on why?
Then backflipped on it, saying he got wrong.
It seems that the NSW Gov loves propping up so many uneconomic, unethical & ecocidal industries that threaten our advancement.
Unless there's radical change,for the 1st time,they've lost me on election day,I'll exhaust before sending my vote to the #Duopoly #nodifference
