政府对赛狗行业正式发布公告。政府在对该行业的动物福利和安全进行审查后，政府已通知赛狗行业。
“布鲁斯·罗伯逊爵士对行业进行了彻底的审查，与赛狗内外的利益团体会面。他还会见了个人训练师和饲养员，”赛车部长格兰特·罗伯逊说。
“他的报告清楚地表明，经营赛狗运动的社会许可受到挑战。他的结论是，如果新西兰灰狗赛车队 (GRNZ) 想要确保自己的未来，它必须证明该行业的体面，但它通过不必要地混淆信息并反对那些有兴趣的人，使其工作变得更加困难。 所有信息都应该被记录下来，并且应该是可用的。可以说，GRNZ 有数据支持其对布鲁斯爵士报告中提出的问题的立场，但被视为不愿分享”部长格兰特·罗伯逊说。
“仍有三个基本问题需要解决：
1. 数据记录
2. 所有活动的透明度
3. 动物福利一般
“我要求赛车诚信委员会针对上述三个标题中的每一个确定一组特定指标，用于评估行业进展，并在 2022 年底之前向我报告。这比布鲁斯爵士建议的期限短，但我相信报告中提出的问题的紧迫性证明了这一点。 我今天想说清楚——赛狗业受到关注：要么进行必要的改进，要么面临关闭的风险，”格兰特·罗伯逊说。
农业部副部长 Meka Whaitiri 表示，她欢迎并支持 Robertson 部长的建议。
“必须认真对待赛狗行业所需的改进。灰狗的福利必须成为该行业的重点，”梅卡·怀蒂里说。
Greyhound racing industry formally on notice
2 September 2021 The Government has put the greyhound racing industry on notice following a review of animal welfare and safety in the industry. “Sir Bruce Robertson carried out a thorough review of the industry, meeting with interest groups from both within greyhound racing and outside. He also met with individual trainers and breeders,” Grant Robertson said.
“His report makes it clear the social licence to operate the sport of greyhound racing is under challenge. He concluded that if Greyhound Racing New Zealand (GRNZ) wants to secure its future it must demonstrate the decency of the industry, but it has made its job harder by unnecessarily obfuscating information and pushing back against those with an interest.
“All information should be recorded and it should be available. Arguably GRNZ has data to support its stances on the issues raised in Sir Bruce’s report but it is seen as unwilling to share it,” Grant Robertson said.
There are three fundamental issues that still need to be addressed:
1. data recording
2. transparency of all activities
3. animal welfare generally
“I am asking the Racing Integrity Board to identify a specific set of indicators over each of the three headings above that will be used to assess the industry’s progress, reporting back to me before the end of 2022.
“This is shorter than the period Sir Bruce has recommended but I believe the urgency of the matters raised in the report justify that.
“I want to be clear today – the greyhound racing industry is on notice: either make the improvements needed or risk closure,” Grant Robertson said.
The Associate Agriculture Minister Meka Whaitiri said she welcomes and supports the recommendations from Minister Robertson.
“The Improvements needed from the greyhound racing industry must be taken seriously. The welfare of Greyhounds must be a key focus for the industry,” Meka Whaitiri said.
