Greyhound racing claims another life while industry scrambles to stay afloat

SAFE is deeply saddened by the death of greyhound Homebush Milo, who collapsed and died after winning a race at Addington Raceway on Friday, 7 March. The cause of death is yet to be determined. This marks the fourth greyhound death since Racing Minister Winston Peters announced a ban on greyhound racing in December 2024, with a 20-month phase-out period, citing repeated failings to improve dog welfare.
