Dear all - above is MLC Emma Hurst (Animal Justice Party) with greyhound Leo, accepting your petition and you can see her presenting it to the NSW parliament here.

Also, you can seea group photo here, all the other pollies who turned up to accept the petition from greyhounds Leo and Tiny - MLAs Jenny Leong and Jamie Parker (Greens),j Alex Greenwich (Indep), plus MLCs Abigail Boyd (Greens) and Mark Pearson (AJP). 

Meanwhile, NSW Minister Kevin Anderson will soon make a final decision on the code which will set minimum welfare standards for years to come.

He refused to meet with us about the petition, so we'll keep it going until the code's finalised in order to record the full extent of public opposition. because new people are signing every day.

Thanks again from the Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds (CPG) volunteers.

CPG is a dedicated group of people across Australia who work together to inform the public about the cruelties of greyhound racing – CPG FB, CPG website.
