All greyhound racing is unsafe. The dogs run at up to 70kmh and collisions are often fatal. Injuries are very common causing intense pain, suffering and distress. 

Stewards reports show greyhounds suffering at every racetrack. Horrific deaths are frequent - broken necks, backs, spines, mutilation by race lure. 

By far the most common injury suffered by racing greyhounds is a broken leg. These are often treatable at an estimated cost of $4,000 depending on the severity, but most dogs are killed. 

Greyhounds also suffer compound fractures and occasionally communited fractures which is where the bone is shattered and more often associated with being hit by a car or shot. 

reyhounds are put under intense pressure when racing and this physical over-exertion causes seizures due to a lack of oxygen, heat-related stress and the collapse of greyhounds post-race. Serious injuries can lead to greyhounds dying on the track or being put to death at the end of the race.

The racing industry and regulators refuse to reveal the number of deaths and injuries at each racetrack. The industry tries to hide the dangers of racing by censoring race videos.
