Summary
The Greyhound Protection Act amends the Animal Welfare Act to forbid commercial greyhound racing, the use of live animals as bait for training, and open‑field coursing when the dogs move across state or international lines. It also bars any betting on those events and sets civil fines and up to seven years in prison for violations. The law would impact track owners, trainers, bettors, and anyone who transports or sells greyhounds for these purposes.
