Kathleen Trainor, a Hong Kong businesswoman who has adopted four greyhounds from the Macau (Yat Yuen) Canidrome Co. Ltd. has told The Macau Post Daily that there are still too many hoops to jump through to get the animals over to Hong Kong by the August 31 deadline. This is despite Hong Kong’s Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) agreeing to issue a special permit to import the dogs into Hong Kong.
The Macau Post Daily met Trainor in Taipa last Sunday to discuss the frustration she is feeling and the wonderful help she had received from various people in government in Macau and Hong Kong to cut through the “extremely confusing” red tape and “contradictory information” being given out.
Trainor adopted her four greyhounds directly from the Canidrome. Cognac, a female, who is in a foster home in Taipa she is keeping for herself. Winston, a male, she has adopted for a friend. Trending World, a female, and Rich, an alpha- male who was running up until the very last race at the Canidrome on 30 June, she is still looking for homes for.
