Tarawi Minnie should have had the chance to live a life beyond the racetrack.
Instead, new undercover footage shows the young greyhound being dragged into a veterinary clinic by her trainer. Later that same afternoon, investigators found her body inside the clinic’s freezer.
Tarawi Minnie was one of 216 greyhounds killed in Queensland in 2024 after being deemed “unrehomable”. In New South Wales, Australia’s largest greyhound racing state, just 17 dogs were killed under the same classification.
The figures reveal a rehoming system that is failing greyhounds in Queensland. Rather than addressing the problem, the Queensland Government has changed the euthanasia rules under the Queensland Racing Integrity framework, making it easier for healthy greyhounds to be killed.
It is a reality the greyhound racing industry would rather keep out of public view.
“Greyhound racing does not deserve the support of the public, nor does it deserve another cent of government funding or tax-payer subsidies.”
Amanda Holly AnimalKIND Director
Every year, greyhounds are injured and killed on racetracks across Queensland, while thousands more never make it to the track at all. Despite repeated welfare concerns and growing public opposition, the industry continues to receive government support.
Our parliamentary petition is calling on the Queensland Government to begin phasing out greyhound racing.
Join us in sending a clear message that this cruel industry has no place in a compassionate Queensland. Every signature shows our elected representatives that the community wants change. Please take a minute to add your name before the petition closes. You might also want to raise the issue with your local member.
Not a Queensland resident? You can still make a difference by sharing the petition with your friends, family, and networks. Every time it is shared it helps reach more people, builds public support, and strengthens the call for change. You can also help by raising your concerns with your local Member of Parliament. The more elected representatives hear from people who care about animal welfare, the more awareness and pressure there is for change. This is our opportunity to show that the community is ready to end greyhound racing in Queensland.
