Welfare of Racing Animals in Tasmania

THE welfare of all animals must be a primary consideration for all participants in the racing industry.

As the racing industry is a significant employer and economic entity. It is well regulated with both national and local rules.

It is an industry that necessarily involves the breeding, rearing and management of significant numbers of animals.

It is recognised that a successful racing industry depends upon the animals being physically sound and psychologically happy.

Australian racing authorities have an excellent reputation for acting to protect the welfare of their animals and Tasracing adopts this philosophy.
