Target: Ms. Annastacia Palaszczuk, Premier of Queensland, Australia Goal: Ban the use of whips in horse racing to promote animal welfare and prevent animal cruelty. Whips have been a traditional tool used by jockeys in horse racing to make the horses run faster. However, it is a common belief that the use of whips causes harm and pain to the horses, leading to animal welfare concerns. The repetitive and unnecessary use of whips on horses can cause physical injuries, including bruising, inflammation, and even broken skin. The use of whips in horse racing is also against the principles of fair play, as it gives an unfair advantage to jockeys who use them, and this is not in line with the spirit of the sport. In addition, the use of whips can lead to public perception issues, as it can be seen as cruel and inhumane to animals, which can negatively impact the reputation of the sport and the industry.

Did you know that on Australian tracks, approximately five greyhounds die every week and over 10,000 are injured each year while racing? Eleven thousand greyhounds are bred for racing each year; approximately 25% become “wastage”. Only six countries worldwide allow greyhound racing, and 64 of these existing tracks are in Australia (more than the rest of the world combined). Racing greyhounds are not protected by the same laws afforded to companion dogs and need our protection from the inherently cruel and poorly regulated industry they have been bred into. Voiceless, the animal protection institute, is proud to support a coalition of greyhound protection organisations in developing strategies to ban greyhound racing. These campaigns are committed to ending the suffering of racing greyhounds, influencing public opinion, and targeting state governments to commit to a ban on this cruel industry.

The decision of the Tas Racing Appeals Board earlier this week to overturn the lifetime ban on greyhound trainer Anthony Bullock is devastating. Innocent dogs continue to suffer and die because the rules of racing and state animal welfare laws are simply not strong enough to ensure those who do the wrong thing can be successfully held to account. The RSPCA has been actively campaigning for years about the need for more stringent oversight of racing in Tasmania, and specifically of improving the welfare standards in greyhound racing. The videos released last year of appalling conditions in which greyhounds are being kept at several kennels, including those of Tasmania’s largest greyhound trainer, Anthony Bullock, reinforces the on-going concerns about poor treatment of these dogs that we and many others have expressed. Tasmania lags far behind other states in recognising that public attitudes to racing have changed and strengthening standards required for participants. Time after time, we’ve heard statements from government that they support the racing industry and recognise the importance of animal welfare. However, while everyone says animal welfare is a priority, the cupboard is bare in terms of commitment - and funding - to deliver better outcomes. The Tasmanian government pours more than $32m of public money into racing every year – with little accountability and no transparency. This is simply not good enough anymore. The community expects concerns expressed about animal welfare to be matched by increased public scrutiny and investment. This is also a wake-up call for all those involved in the racing industry. Those participants who do the right thing need to call out bad behaviour and make it clear this will not be accepted. And it is long past time for this industry to be made to stand on its own feet – by ending taxpayer funding for this so-called ‘sport’. We will also continue to keep this issue in the public eye – and to hold the government to account to protect the innocent creatures who are harmed every day in this cruel industry.
