The Spin

Narrative A

The persistent high injury rates and deaths demonstrate that greyhound racing is inherently dangerous and cruel, marking this ban as a monumental victory for animal rights that reflects growing public recognition that animal exploitation for entertainment is unacceptable.

Narrative B

The greyhound racing industry has made significant strides in animal welfare reforms, with injury rates below Australian averages and lower euthanasia rates than horse racing. This ban is an unnecessary devastation to families and businesses that have dedicated their lives to the sport.
