Greyhound Protection Act of 2023
Summary
The Greyhound Protection Act of 2023 (H.R. 3894) seeks to end commercial greyhound racing and live lure training in the United States. The bill would amend the Animal Welfare Act to make it illegal to engage in, or facilitate, the racing of greyhounds for gambling purposes or the use of live animals as bait in dog training.
For the average citizen, this legislation would effectively phase out the remaining greyhound racing tracks across the country and prohibit the interstate transport of dogs for racing purposes. While the bill aims to protect animal welfare, it would also impact the gambling and entertainment industries that currently host or broadcast these events.
