The Tasmanian Greyhound Racing community is more than just a sporting event; it represents a deep tradition in our society, one that is woven into the fabric of Tasmania's culture and history. For years, enthusiasts from all walks of life have come together to support and celebrate the incredible abilities of our greyhounds. Now, the very existence of this beloved community is under threat, with potential closure looming beyond 2029.

Behind every race is a story – of dedication, passion, and the unique bond between humans and their greyhounds. Countless individuals, including trainers, breeders, and fans, have built their lives around this industry, investing their time, love, and livelihoods. The prospect of losing this community doesn’t just jeopardize a sport but risks dismantling a significant part of our cultural heritage.

Economic reports show that greyhound racing contributes substantially to the local economy, supporting jobs, tourism, and local businesses. Many regions in Tasmania heavily rely on this industry, which yields millions annually. Losing greyhound racing could lead to severe economic repercussions for these communities, increasing unemployment and stripping away local cultural events.

With modern regulations and a drive towards transparency and welfare, the greyhound racing community has evolved. We strive to ensure commendable standards of care, safety, and ethical practices, proving that the industry can adapt and thrive while prioritizing animal welfare.

Let's stand together to protect and preserve a cherished tradition and the community it sustains. We ask for your support in urging officials and stakeholders to recognize the importance of maintaining the Tasmanian Greyhound Racing community. Sign this petition and keep our legacy alive for generations to come.
