SAFE is calling for MPI to âstep up and shut downâ the Whanganui greyhound racing track after another dog has been killed.
On Friday, Big Time Frosty became the 10th dog killed this racing season at the notorious Whanganui greyhound racing track. She sustained a serious fracture of the right tibia after colliding with several other dogs.
The track has a reputation amongst greyhound racing circles and is referred to as being a âdeath trapâ if itâs recently been raining. Since the start of the season, 243 dogs have been injured.
SAFE spokesperson Will Appelbe said the track needs urgent attention from the Ministry for Primary Industries.

Poultry Industry Association and the Egg Producers Federation executive director Michael Brooks said it had been detected in three flocks of meat chickens and on three egg farms in the North Island with some linked to a hatchery in the Auckland area.
None of the affected eggs or meat had entered the market for human consumption, but it was a blow to the industry, he said. We ve never had Salmonella Enteritidis before in this country in our poultry industry. This has been a real shock to the industry but we are meeting the concerns and we will be putting place through a mandated government scheme - which we agree with - to ensure testing is of the highest level and consumers are protected.
