News Blog 346 greyhounds died and 3,809 injuries in UK’s greyhound racing industry last year (26-06-25) Today, the Greyhound Board of Great Britain (GBGB) published its 2024 track injury data, revealing that 346 greyhounds died last year in the UK’s greyhound racing industry and that there were 3,809 injuries. Shockingly this also means, that since 2017, when GBGB death and injury records first began, 3,957 greyhounds have died in the UK’s licensed greyhound racing industry and 35,168 injuries have been recorded. OneKind’s Head of Campaign & Media, Eve Massie Bishop, speaking on behalf of the Unbound the Greyhound coalition to end greyhound racing in Scotland, stated: “When we look at these glaringly high statistics, it is so important to remember that we are talking about individual dogs here. Individuals with their own personalities, characteristics, and quirks. Individuals who deserved a better chance at life, with a forever home and loving family to call their own ... It is high time that greyhound racing became a thing of the past. It is completely unacceptable that an industry where dogs are routinely injured or killed is still legal in 2025.” Take action to end greyhound racing Unbound the Greyhound coalition The Unbound the Greyhound coalition is formed of 9 animal welfare organisations that are working together to end greyhound racing in Scotland. The coalition has condemned the figures and is calling on the Scottish Government to support the Greyhound Racing (Offences) (Scotland) Bill that would prohibit greyhound racing in Scotland. The following groups form the Unbound the Greyhound coalition: OneKind, All-Party Parliamentary Dog Advisory Welfare Group (APDAWG), Animal Concern, Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home, GREY2K USA Worldwide, Hope Rescue, League Against Cruel Sports Scotland, Say No to Greyhound Racing in Scotland, and Scotland Against Greyhound Exploitation (SAGE).
