Council urged to reject Greyhound racing proposal on public land

An animal rights organisation is calling on the Christchurch City Council to reject Greyhound racing on its land. Greyhound Racing New Zealand has made a proposal to lease land at QEII Park to build a new racetrack. The two other proposals for the 4-hectare section of land include a multi-sport training and entertainment complex and a range for the Christchurch Archery Club.
