Episode Details

Ireland’s greyhound racing regulator, Rásaíocht Con Éireann, admits it doesn’t track why dogs are euthanized—leaving owners to make the call with vets, often without oversight. Shocking stats reveal 66% of retired Irish greyhounds born between 2021–2024 are now dead, while just 22% find new homes. The Minister for Agriculture hasn’t disputed the figures, and RCÉ refuses to acknowledge systemic welfare gaps—even as it disputes the numbers by citing exported dogs, which it admits it can’t track either. This silent crisis is sparking outrage and urgent calls for accountability.
