Greyhound racing just turned 100, and says its dogs are fine. But are they?

This year, greyhound racing in Britain turns 100 years old. The first race took place on July 24, 1926, in Manchester, where six dogs chased a mechanical hare around a track.

Tricky to pick a recurrent theme from Day 2 of #SciFAW100. From failures in transparency to improve #animalwelfate, social licence and public perception, benchmarking across jurisdictions, ethical review, and reproducibility in #Science. Complexity, maybz? Last day today! 🧪🐁🐠🐄🐈🐦🦎

UniMelb researchers have uncovered several animal welfare issues in the United Kingdom’s greyhound racing industry, reigniting public debate about whether the sport should be banned worldwide. Read more → unimelb.me/4uMNXHI

We used AI agents, under human supervision, to make animal-welfare insights visible from public-facing data. Half of the UK's racing greyhounds were sired by just 18 stud dogs, with high inbreeding consequences. Read the open-access paper → www.frontiersin.org/journals/ani... #dogs #AIForGood

"New research from the Dog Aging Project shows that genetic metabolic patterns tied to lifespan are strikingly similar in dogs and people, offering new insight into aging across species." 🐾To learn more about our findings, read the TAMU VMBS article: vetmed.tamu.edu/news/press-r...

Most UK racing greyhounds are gone from the track within two years of their first race - and what happens next is largely undocumented. We used AI agents to follow the dogs from public records. Open access: doi.org/10.3389/fanim.2026.1868726 #AnimalWelfare #Dogs #Science #AIForGood

Thanks to ABC News for including my “hot take” in this story about helping our animal companions cope in the extreme heat impacting Australia this Summer. Terrific insights from my colleague, Dr Steven Impey too: lnkd.in/gbQze564 #science #dogs #animalwelfare

If you live in #Adelaide #SA #Australia keep your #Dogs out of discoloured water and away from contaminated foam, seaweed, marine debris like fish, crabs, and sea balls BECAUSE DOGS ARE STILL GETTING SICK at the beach w/ the #AlgalBloom ➡️Rinse them off w/ fresh water. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

Pet owner's warning as dog left 'frothing' after SA beach visit

Within 20 minutes of leaving an Adelaide beach dogs Lucy and Ella began breathing rapidly and fell "terribly sick", prompting their owner to issue a warning.

It's heating up, with temps over 40°C (105°F) ahead. My piece for @aunz.theconversation.com about helping animals in extreme heat has been viewed twice from the US / UK for every Australian view!

When people get hot, we can strip off clothing and we sweat to cool down. But animals such as cats and dogs aren’t so lucky.
