It was a landmark day, following years of campaigning and strong public demonstrations of support. Alongside nine greyhounds rescued from the racing industry, we took to Parliament to welcome the Bill.

Regional support for an end to greyhound racing

Ahead of the introduction, Unbound the Greyhound coalition member GREY2K USA commissioned polling that demonstrated the support for an end to greyhound racing within each of the 8 regions of Scotland.

Each region showed majority support for an end to racing, with 68% of Scots overall supporting an end to greyhound racing.
