It’s unthinkable cruelty. Difficult to comprehend, and difficult to witness. But the reality for the animals trapped in this industry makes this exposé a must-watch.

ABC Four Corners has aired the findings of ground-breaking investigations conducted by Animals Australia and our friends at Animal Liberation Queensland, into the greyhound racing industry.

Investigation footage of live baiting exposed in the greyhound racing industry; a possum is tied to a device and being hurled around the track as a greyhound is close to mauling them.
