• Stop and check before crossing drive through entrances and exits.

A charter plane could fly dozens of greyhounds to Australia to avoid a dog racing ban in New Zealand. 

Greyhound racing will be illegal in Aotearoa from August. The move follows several critical reviews of the industry and concerns around animal welfare.

A Greyhound Transition Agency has been set up to help re-home up to 2000 dogs and was responsible for their welfare until then.

But Greyhound Racing NZ is floating the idea of taking up to 70 dogs on a charter flight to Queensland - where racing was still legal. 

"We're looking to see whether collectively there's enough interest to justify a charter flight. There's no guarantee it will happen unless we can make it viable up around the 60 or 70 number but that's still a minor number of the 1700 that will need to be re-homed."

When you take your ipu pepa to be emptied, please leave your lid in your classroom.
