Animal protection group Anima is studying the feasibility of sending the over 500 greyhounds left behind at the Canidrome to the US and Europe by charter planes, its president, Albano Martins, said in a statement yesterday.
Martins said that lawmaker-cum-gaming executive Angela Leong On Kei, who ran the now defunct greyhound racetrack operation, “has informed me that she will pay all the costs”.
The racetrack run by Macau (Yat Yuen) Canidrome Co. Ltd. closed for good on July 20. The government had informed the company of the termination of its betting concession in July 2018 two years ago.
