Bill overview
The Greyhound Protection Act of 2025 seeks to end commercial greyhound racing, live lure training, and open field coursing in the United States. The bill argues that these practices cause significant harm to greyhounds, including injuries and drug use, and are financially unsustainable for the remaining tracks. It aims to protect greyhounds by prohibiting related activities and establishing penalties for violations, while also clarifying definitions and ensuring the law doesn't interfere with existing state and federal regulations.
