Target: Ms. Katrine Hildyard, Minister for Recreation, Sport, and Racing of South Australia
Goal: Conduct an immediate investigation into the alleged animal cruelty by greyhound trainers and implement stringent measures.
Shocking drone footage revealed greyhound trainers reportedly kicking, punching, and dragging the terrified dogs while they cowered and attempted to escape. The video was taken by a whistleblower who documented the alleged incidents over a two-and-a-half-week period at a property near Murray Bridge in Adelaide’s southeast.
The property in question is operated by prominent breeder and trainer Tony Rasmussen and his wife Lisa, although the identity of the individual seen in the video has not been confirmed. This alleged act of cruelty goes against the principles of compassion and justice that should be upheld in the sporting community and the broader society. Demand a full investigation to these trainers to ensure the welfare of these innocent animals.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Ms. Katrine Hildyard,
We are writing to express our deep concern and outrage regarding the recent allegations of animal cruelty by South Australian greyhound trainers. The shocking footage showing the mistreatment of greyhounds is abhorrent and goes against the principles of compassion and respect for animals.
We implore you to take immediate and decisive action. We urge you to conduct a thorough investigation into this incident, ensuring that the truth is uncovered and those responsible for the alleged acts of cruelty face appropriate consequences under the law.
By taking decisive action and reinforcing animal welfare regulations, South Australia can lead by example, demonstrating its commitment to upholding the rights and well-being of animals within its borders.
We, the concerned citizens and advocates for animal rights, trust in your dedication to ensuring a safe and compassionate environment for all animals in the racing industry and beyond.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

These are trainers? Trainers from Hell. This shows your country to be horrible to their animals.
There are so many zoos which care for their animals, do TV series showing the care they give but this is so embarrassing for your country. Is this true? If so then you are the poster child for piss poor management of dogs and I am sure other animals as well. Get a life and show some respect and appreciation as I am certain you are making money off this venture.
Please ban these monsters from working with animals permanently since they constantly abuse animals and have zero compassion for them . Also, publicize their names and shame them publicly so that they cant exploit animals for profits and own gains through this business.
What are you people doing! How can you call yourselves “trainers” These individuals are “bullies” plain and simple and should never be allowed to train or own another animal again. Start acting like decent human beings and show respect to these living beings. Just leave the dogs to a caring and patient human.
