New Zealand has announced plans to ban greyhound racing, citing an "unacceptably high" rate of injuries.
The sport has long faced criticism in the country, with some breeders accused of mistreating or doping the animals.
The government plans to wind down the industry over the next 20 months, to allow time for the rehoming of racing dogs and for people in the industry to transition to other jobs.
Apart from New Zealand, commercial greyhound racing is allowed in Australia, Ireland, the UK and the US.
