The Mid and West Wales MS, alongside the “Cut the Chase” coalition made up of various animal welfare charities, has been campaigning for the banning of Greyhound racing in Wales.
However, despite the consultation concluding in March, the Welsh Government are still yet to disclose its findings.
A recent report from the Greyhound Board of Great Britain, last year saw a 47% increase in racing-related canine deaths or euthanasia cases in the UK.
Speaking to the Siambr on Tuesday, Jane Dodds MS said that
“We have waited for several months now for the Welsh Government to release its findings, and in that time more dogs have been put needlessly in harm’s way.
“As one of the few remaining nations where commercial greyhound racing still occurs, the Welsh Government has a responsibility to act as soon as possible to prevent any further suffering being inflicted upon these innocent dogs.
“By publishing a summary of the consultation responses, we can work towards building a concrete plan to phase out this cruel sport for good.”
