The greyhound racing industry has less than two years to rehome thousands of dogs as the government calls time on the sport saying its animal welfare needs to come first. The government anounced the industry will have 20 months to wind down, with an advisory committee set up to oversee the transition. Racing Minister, Winston Peters said despite changes in the industry greyhound injuries remain consistently high and there's no evidence that stricter regulations would change that. Greyhound Racing New Zealand's chief executive Edward Rennell spoke to Lisa Owen.
