"The people of Scotland will be totally bemused that the SNP government and Green Party are looking to waste parliamentary time in the run up to the election banning something that doesn't take place here when there are so many issues that deserve and require legislation."In recent years just one greyhound track in Scotland, Thornton Stadium in Kirkcaldy, has been staging races but it closed until further notice in March.According to the RSPCA, there are only nine countries in the world that still allow commercial greyhound racing, including all four UK nations.'Greyhound racing cost my pet its leg - I back the ban'New Zealand to ban greyhound racing Scottish governmentScotlandScottish GreensDogsAnimalsGreyhound racingAnimal welfare
