Australia has a lucrative greyhound racing industry that sees enough controversy on home soil, and now it’s been revealed there’s a largely unknown but sophisticated trade in dogs with China, where their welfare can’t be assured.
Australian greyhounds are being purchased for up to $220,000 each and exported to China where they are fuelling an underground racing industry.

Reporter Paul Farrell discusses his investigation into a supply chain involving Australian agents identifying and procuring winning greyhounds for Chinese breeders.
