The inaugural commissioner of Integrity of the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission has been appointed to lead an inquiry into greyhound racing in NSW after damning allegations have been aired in state parliament.
An explosive exit report written by GRNSW’s former chief veterinarian Alex Brittan contains a litany of allegations about animal welfare violations and substandard practices, from dogs with mouths of rotting teeth to the discovery of unreported burnt and frozen carcasses at a vet’s surgery. “It is important that the governing bodies and senior leadership of the racing codes meet these standards,” he said.
