The destruction of the Greyhound Racing industry by Government Decree is attracting a great deal of comment right now.
Far more, I suggest, than the "sport" itself ever has in New Zealand.
I've twice worked with dog trainers (almost all industry trainers are part timers) and heard the stories of their methods and successes.
One thing that stands out is the way dogs are discarded (read "made dead") after any sign they won't win.
Non-racing greyhounds are next to useless - not even glue-factory/pet-food worthy, and are treated that way.
I can see why Mr Peters has decided to end it all.
