A greyhound kennel horror story has been uncovered.

Greyhound Racing Ireland (GRI) have confirmed that a serious welfare incident involving greyhounds has been uncovered at a registered premises in late April.

Initial reports are saying that many greyhounds were found dead and that other greyhounds are missing.

The exact location where the incident took place has not been revealed, but it understood to be in the west of the country.

Prompted by escalating concerns following welfare inspections at the premises, GRI stated they took “immediate intervention,” involving their own officials and veterinary professionals.

As a result, a welfare notice has been issued to the owner, effectively prohibiting them from keeping greyhounds and aiming to prevent any further harm.
