No Bones are to be used for training Greyhounds .
Bones are for cleaning teeth only.
So now we have no Dead rabbits and no use of bones other than to clean your dogs teeth .
To this day many people in the USA break pups in on a bone so what have we got left to use now poor old Teddy B Bear.
I am told this will soon be stopped because of the amount of kids now traumatised from witnessing their beloved Teddy getting ripped apart by Greyhounds .
Stop the rot join your local GOTBA after 12 months you can MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT ....

How would the authorities know if the bone was used for cleaning or not, this is simply silly, maybe they will require a note from the vet.
""Dear Steward XYZ dog needs a bone every day due to bad teeth decay, please do not confiscate his bone, I hereby give authority to XYZ dog to have possession of said bone, please call with any questions..regards Dr Dolittle""
Then a note in the treatment book will need to be made,
Monday - administered shin bone, due to cavity on lower right molar...signed DR Dolittle Tuesday - administered uncooked chicken wing due to discolouration of teeth - signed DR Dolittle Wednesday - administered lamb flap bone , due to upper molar slight colouration- signed Dr Dolittle Thursday - Administered tripe and bacon bone - due to bad breath - signed Dr Dolittle.
Knick knack paddy whack. I'll still give my dogs their bones.

As long as you don't throw them you should be ok. I wonder how an arrest or banning for encouraging a dog to chase after a bone would stand up in court.
Our dogs will start to feast on the bones of this industries leaders very soon !!!...LMTO.
Gosh what a bunch of A*****holes we have issuing orders..
Never have so many taken orders from so few ( who clearly are Clueless !!)...

This is getting beyond a joke - it is dogism. Lol. I Think we'd have a good case in court. Every mongrel on earth gets a bone. All dogs are trained for reward. Greyhound owners of Australia can take a class action on behalf of their dogs. They are being discriminated against. If greyhounds can't be trained on bones then no farmer, police and security, guide and companion, obedience and conformation and mut dog can have a bone. It's cruelty at the worst to deny a dog a bone and if greys are to be persecuted then it's a discrimination court case. I can't believe I'm writing such crap but I suppose crap begets crap.
I have been told now that its okay for the greyhounds to have a bone for consumption just not to be lure trained on using a bone. IM GETTING CONFUSED WITH ALL THIS SHITE

It's ok for eating.
Not ok for chasing.
How do you stop the wolf pack instinct that has been bred into every dog over thousands of years?
In the wild, what does a dog or any animal do before it can eat something?
It doesn't come in a stainless steel bowl

What's all this tripe about? (Yes, I know that tripe is organic and can't be used to train a dog to chase).
Where did this bone stuff originate?

Have the people making up this drivel even ever owned a dog? Even a chihuaua? The absence of basic canine behavioral knowlege is unbelievable.

Better ban all chew toys and blankets that have wool in them.
Cos we wouldn't want pups socialising and playing by tearing a blanket to shreds! The horror!

Hide the ugg boots - they could cause permanent pshychological problems.
