Greyhound Board challenges Welsh government’s racing ban in judicial review
The Greyhound Board of Great Britain filed a judicial review challenge on 19 May against the Welsh government’s decision to ban greyhound racing in Wales, reportedly. The board argues that the prohibition is disproportionate and that the government failed to consider regulatory alternatives and the effects on livelihoods and dog welfare. The government said welfare risks could not be sufficiently reduced through reforms.
The challenge could determine whether greyhound racing can continue in Wales under the government’s proposed prohibition.
