You Are Their Voice

Greyhounds cannot speak for themselves.

They cannot tell us when they are frightened, injured or exhausted. They cannot ask for the life every dog deserves — a safe home, a warm bed and a family who loves them.

But we can.

Across Tasmania, thousands of people are standing up for greyhounds and calling for a better future for these gentle dogs. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to end greyhound racing in our state and give these animals the life they deserve.

Right now, the future of greyhounds in Tasmania is being decided.

And every voice matters.

Why This Moment Matters

Greyhounds are intelligent, sensitive dogs who thrive as companions. Yet in the racing industry they are treated as commodities — bred for speed, trained for performance and discarded when they can no longer compete.

Injuries, stress and overcrowded kennels are all predictable outcomes of a system built around gambling and racing performance.

Tasmania now has the chance to move forward.

Legislation before Parliament proposes a responsible transition away from commercial greyhound racing — creating a future where greyhounds are valued for who they are, not how fast they run.

But powerful interests are fighting hard to stop it.

That’s why your voice is so important.

Greyhounds rely on people who care about animal welfare to speak up for them.

By supporting the You Are Their Voice campaign, you are helping ensure that compassion — not cruelty — guides the future of animal welfare in Tasmania.
