Almost 22,000 people have voted in a poll asking whether there should be an Australia-wide ban on greyhound racing, with 82 per cent in favour of completely shutting down the industry.
Lateline (an ABC TV current affairs program) ran the Facebook poll asking about a nationwide ban, after New South Wales and the ACT moved to end the sport in 2017.
The decision to ban greyhound racing comes after a special commission report into the practice found horrific evidence of animal cruelty, mass killings of greyhounds and the live baiting of animals like possums, piglets and rabbits.
Australia is one of only eight countries in the world where commercial greyhound racing is still legal.
