The greyhound racing industry is in tatters after the Australian Capital Territory confirmed it will join New South Wales in banning the sport.Just hours after New South Wales Premier Mike Bairds stunning announcement, ACTs Chief Minister Andrew Barr threw his support behind the decision.There is no future for this industry in the ACT, Mr Barr confirmed on Facebook.We will consider the findings of the New South Wales report before announcing a process to end the practice of greyhound racing in the ACT.It is untenable for the ACT Government to continue allowing, and financially supporting the practice of greyhound racing.Earlier, the New South Wales government officially put an end to greyhound racing following a special commission into widespread cruelty in the industry.According to the report, in the past 12 years at least half of all the states greyhounds have been killed on the grounds of being uncompetitive. The inquiry -- undertaken and led by former High Court judge Michael McHugh -- also found that one-in-five trainers have been involved in live baiting at some point in time.Live baiting refers to owners who use live animals for the purposes of training greyhounds. Animals are usually tied to a mechanical lure which speeds around the track as the greyhounds chase. Despite live baiting being illegal in all states and territories of Australia, thousands of animals still die each year from the practice.New South Wales premier Mike Baird has labelled the discovery appalling on Facebook and claims his government have no choice but to close it down.In response to widespread illegal and unconscionable activity, including the slaughtering of tens of thousands of dogs, I can today announce that New South Wales is putting an end to greyhound racing, Mr Baird said.As a humane and responsible government we are left with no acceptable course of action except to close this industry down.This is the inevitable conclusion to be drawn from the appalling revelations in Mr McHughs report and his considered view that any other measures are unlikely to protect animals from further cruelty.The ban will commence on July 1 next year.
