Will end of greyhound racing in NSW and ACT mean more camping grounds?
(

)
(Preview)
As the subject says, I wonder if the end of greyhound racing in NSW and ACT will mean more camping grounds? At the very least, expect more dogs (aka depreciated assets) to be dumped by their breeders. The local radio keeps trying to convince us that they make great pets.
