This matter is still with the RNZSPCA who are continuing their investigation into the allegations that were forwarded to them. The RIU are continuing to liaise with the RNZSPCA, however at this point neither party can give us (GRNZ)an indication when this matter might draw to a close. While this is frustrating, the investigation must be left to take its course. The matter is outside the hands of GRNZ at this stage.

greyhoundlover 24 Report post Posted November 28, 2017 I also saw those photos and think they are pathetic.... they show nothing and the fact that they have been sent out to people by someone in the industry is very disheartening. People need to get a life and leave them alone. GOM 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotive 306 Report post Posted November 28, 2017 Agreed Houndfan. The rules are quite clear. They are available to view on the GRNZ website. This matter should not ever be considered trivial, or "pathetic" as quoted above. What is disheartening is that the membership is not united on this matter, and that progress has been painfully slow.

You state you do not know who the trainer is and do not know what is going on, have not seen the photo's but it should not be happening in NZ. !!!!

aquaman 1,352 Report post Posted November 28, 2017 I disagree with most on this thread. I see nothing wrong with using a dead animal skin on the end of a lure. This person they have hung out to dry for 16yrs for attaching a dead skin on a lure in Australia is a witch hunt and a travesty of justice, a complete over reaction to animal right activists. Do not get me wrong, I have zero tolerance for live baiting, and this before it became fashionable with the advent of animal right activism. It is abhorrent, and people caught doing these things need to be punished severely, but extrapolating this out to include rabbit skins, and possum skins, and sheep skin, is a nonsense, and a complete over reaction. There f#cken dead. I have seen the photos, and in my opinion mean zilch. They are poor quality, and show some person tying what could be anything on to what appears to be a piece of line. It supposedly shows a piece of material being tied on the line. It could be dead skin, it could be cloth, it could be tanned skin, it could be an old singlet, it could be anything. Without corroborating evidence such as eye witness statements and video evidence then this whole thing is going nowhere. It looks more like a witch hunt to me.

Arguing aside, the rules are still very clear and have been since 2013. Whether you agree with the rule or not, it is and was the rule since that date. It was heavily publicised via website, email, and posted hard copy.

J May 19 Report post Posted November 29, 2017 Grnz could have made this whole situation a lot easier by front footing the issue when the allegations were made. Surely they could have conducted their own investigation whilst the spca was doing their own. It happens in business all the time, simultaneous investigations. if found guilty the book must be thrown, abhorrent, disgusting practice.

Would you like to clarify that , do you mean if it was a bit of dead animal skin, it is abhorrent, disgusting because it if it was it is not either of those two things. John talked of a witch hunt. Most people would wonder how witch hunts happened years ago, or lynch mobs. It is just hard to get your head around it until you read the Greyhound forum on racecafe. The same processes and thought patterns. What did Winston C say?
