Greyhound racing will be phased out in New Zealand over the next 20 months , says Racing Minister Winston Peters .
Urgent laws will be passed to prevent the unnecessary killing of racing dogs during the transition.
Multiple reviews and high injury rates prompted the decision, with cross-party support for the ban.
The SPCA has called the decision a great day’ for greyhounds.
Three-quarters of New Zealanders would vote to ban commercial greyhound racing if the decision were put to a public referendum.
The SPCA chief scientific officer Arnja Dale said it is a great day for greyhounds.
She said the sport is inherently dangerous and the injury and death rates make it unsustainable.
The organisation is working with the Deputy Prime Minister and Department of Internal Affairs to rehome the dogs.
