SJM Managing Director and Chief Administrative Officer Angela Leong said yesterday that if any of the owners of greyhounds at the local racetrack didn’t want their dogs when it closes for good in July, she could take all of them.
Leong made the remarks when asked by a reporter about the future of the over 600 greyhounds at the dog racetrack in Fai Chi Kei district, on the sidelines of the signing ceremony of an occupational safety and health charter at Grand Lisboa.
In July 2016 the government told the racetrack operator, Macau (Yat Yuen) Canidrome Co. Ltd. to vacate the property, a public land concession, within two years. The company’s concession to run greyhound racing will expire on July 20 this year. Leong heads the company.
