Greyhounds bound for Australia as New Zealand racing ban takes effect

At least two chartered flights are transporting up to 150 greyhounds to Australia's eastern states. The relocation effort coincides with a newly implemented racing ban on greyhound racing in New Zealand.

Trainers in New Zealand are pivoting their operations following the enactment of the ban. The charter flights are facilitating the movement of the dogs across the Tasman Sea as the industry responds to the regulatory changes in New Zealand.
