This is absurd. Here, @ProfCMDwyer states there is a 25% chance a dog gets injured EVERY time it races. The true figure is 1.23%. IF the real figure was 25%, THREE greyhounds would be injured for every TWO races that happen. These lies cannot continue to exist..

@RSPCA_official Trainer @OBMRacing has led by example voicing their support against the banning of greyhound racing. It's time for others to do the same. Especially @Chepstow_Racing , @FfosLasRC and @BangorRaces plus any Wales-based trainers, owners and enthusiasts of the sport.

Here a few of our greyhounds that live at our training complex. Dogs enjoy fresh regular bedding. They enjoy their spa days in our jacuzz. They also love the large spacious beds and the love they all receive from everyone @levers_racing

@GreyhoundBoard MYTH BUSTER #⃣2⃣ Racing and safety. πŸ‘‰ For every 10,000 greyhounds that race, 9,997 return home safe. In 2020, the @RSPCA_Official reported 56,563 welfare incidents in dogs alone. Our welfare responsibilities are in order, it's time for domestic pet owners to do the same πŸ‘

No care? Greyhounds are seen to by experienced and qualified physios at least once each month. They're also inspected by our dedicated veterinary team every week when racing. Few domestic pets are privileged to receive these levels of care. We say that's lie number THREE!

Weeks ago, Ella-Mae would have to cross to the opposite side of the road if any breed of dog was approaching. Now look at her πŸ™Œ Walking Beans, her three-year-old retired greyhound, independently with help from her parents. Fantastic work Ella-Mae. And well done Beans 😊
