Having seen another article about Huw Iranca Davies and banning greyhound racing in Wales; has he ever been greyhound racing?

Has he ever been to Valley Greyhounds?

Has he spoken to the GBGB?

Has he ever been to a registered Racing Greyhound kennels?

Has he ever visited the official Greyhound retirement kennels or spoken to them? 

Of these 5 questions he should be able to say yes to all 5?

Well, I've been to at least 20 GBGB tracks in my life and they are very well run.

The reason he proposes a bill is because Labour's budget could not pass with a majority, without the assistance of the one liberal MSP.

That backing vote was only available if he wrote this bill.

He should look a bit further afield Monmore Green Greyhound Stadium is closing, but a new track has been built at Wolverhampton Racecourse.

At least Labour in Westminster are not as short sighted as Davies.

So I feel, as normal, we have another Labour MSP in the Senedd who has not got a clue about life.

Firstly, this is a shocking way to treat the Greyhound Industry. When he announced the bill in the Senedd, why was the Greyhound Industry not invited but all anti racing groups were?

This is yet more proof of the way Labour have run Wales in the Senedd for over 25 years.

He wants to ban Greyhound Racing, I want to ban Labour from running Wales into the ground any further.
