A call to ban greyhound racing in Scotland has been made by MSPs.
There is only one racetrack in the country at present, which is unlicensed, after Shawfield in Glasgow did not reopen after the pandemic.
Mark Ruskell, Green MSP, led a debate at the Scottish Parliament and called outright for it to be banned. He said: “Greyhound racing is a cruel sport that has no place in a modern Scotland. Even on licensed tracks, the greyhounds are at risk of serious harm, injury and even death. “The industry has shown that it is not capable of the serious reform that is needed. It's time for Scotland to take action by ending this brutal sport.”
