From August 1, greyhound racing will be illegal in New Zealand.
A charter flight full of greyhounds bound for a racing life in Australia is not illegal - and not confirmed yet - but critics say the plan doesn't match the spirit of an industry ban
The greyhound racing industry in New Zealand is soon to come to a complete stop, with a ban coming into effect on 31 July.
There's a plan to rehome between 1500 and 2900 dogs, with a transition agency managing the industry's assets and using its cash to do so.
But there's another plan in the wind - the industry wants to use some of that money to charter a flight for trainers to move their greyhounds to Australia, where the sport is still legal.
