The Irish greyhound industry continues to injure and kill greyhounds in pursuit of a gamble.

In 2025, 197 greyhounds were killed at greyhound racing stadiums tracks around Ireland.

In addition, 344 greyhounds suffered injuries at races between January and the end of December and more than half of them (191) were “euthanised” by track vets. The deaths of 6 other injured greyhounds are listed as racing fatalities.

The 197 deaths are the second highest since records began and just 5 less than last year’s record high of 202 deaths.
