Report ‘Greyhound Racing in Macau’, by GREY2K USA Worldwide, Jan 2012.
In January 2012 GREY2k USA published the report ‘Greyhound Racing in Macau’ (link MacauReport) that revealed that more than 300 dogs had been injured over a ten week period. Another 13 were found suffering from vomiting and diarrhoea.
In December 2011, GREY2k USA obtained documents from the Australian government under the Freedom of Information act that confirmed the extent of the exports, revealing that almost 150 greyhounds had been exported to Macau directly or via Hong Kong in just four months. The organisation had been asked to limit their information request to just a few months due to the volume of paperwork.
The ethical and political fight to close the Canidrome and save the greyhounds began in March 2012, following this report by GREY2K USA Worldwide and the 2011 investigation by the South China Morning Post.
This investigation revealed that at the Macau Canidrome in 2010 dogs were exterminated at a rate of around 30 each month, or one dog almost every day. According to the investigation, 383 dogs imported from Australia were killed by lethal injection because they were regarded as underperforming.
Thus began the international ‘Close the Canidrome‘ campaign, launched and led on a worldwide basis by ANIMA Macau and GREY2K USA Worldwide.
