(Saudi Digital Library, 2023-08-25) Alsahafi, Amjaad; O'Sullivan, Maureen
This study comprehensively examines the controversial issues surrounding the greyhound racing industry in Ireland. It delves into various industry elements from economic, cultural, and ethical perspectives, drawing on various sources, including media production, financial reports, animal welfare studies, and public opinions. The research examines the industry's institutional structures, financial support mechanisms, breeding practices, animal welfare measures, doping allegations, and export policies. Additionally, it assesses the industry's transparency and accountability, particularly concerning the number of greyhounds bred annually and their fate post-retirement. A key focus of this thesis is the critical assessment of whether the greyhound racing industry should be preserved or abolished, given the complex, multifaceted issues it presents. Ultimately, this impartial exploration of the industry's contentious issues aims to provide valuable insights and informed conclusions that contribute to the ongoing discourse and could guide future policy-making and industry practices.
