This year will be the 50th anniversary of the Melbourne Cup of greyhound racing. The Silver Collar is described by the Auckland Greyhound Racing Club as a âgruellingâ and âstamina-sapping affair,â raced over an âextremeâ 779 meters, which is twice as long as a typical race. For the dogs that reach the finals on 13 June, itâs the equivalent of a human running back-to-back marathons on consecutive weekends.
Given the Governmentâs serious concerns for dogs in the racing industry, SAFE spokesperson Will Appelbe said the Silver Collar should be cancelled this year.
âThe situation for dogs in the racing industry is pretty dire,â said Appelbe. âInjuries and deaths are happening weekly, and this race is extremely dangerous .â
