This bill would end commercial greyhound racing and open field coursing nationwide. It also bans “live lure” training, where live animals are used as bait, and outlaws simulcast betting on greyhound races across state lines or from other countries. It further makes it illegal to sell, buy, train, or transport greyhounds for these activities. Federal authorities can investigate, and penalties include fines and up to 7 years in prison for each violation.
Congress cites reports of severe dog injuries, drug use in racing dogs, and long hours of confinement. It also notes that many states already ban dog racing or coursing and that the industry has sharply declined.
