Australian Greyhounds killed and dumped in mass grave -
Investigators have found it is probable that at least 99 greyhounds were brutally killed at a Hunter Valley property and buried in a mass grave over a four-year period because they were "underperforming" and "therefore of no further use".
The bombshell finding follows a year-long investigation at Keinbah Trial Track near Cessnock and comes shortly after Premier Mike Baird's shock announcement that the industry would be shut down from July 1 next year.
The report by senior barrister Clive Steirn, SC, found most of the dogs were killed with a blow to the head, from either a gunshot or a blunt instrument.
It says it was probable that most of the dogs were killed between 2009 and 2013 for reasons other than emergency euthanasia. The vast majority of the remains recovered showed no sign of any other injury.
