The State government officially scrapped the Greyhound racing ban in early April. 

Young Greyhound Club committee member Vicki Prest said the saga had been very trying for those in the local industry but the fight for equitable solutions continues.

"We are happy the ban is finished so we can get on with things," she said. 

"But that's not the end of it, we need a more equitable distribution of the TAB money and the tax parity. "We might need a few more voices in parliament to help us with that."

Member for Cootamundra Katrina Hodgkinson crossed the floor of parliament in support of the greyhound racing industry. 

"There was nothing else I could do in response to this important issue other than cross the floor. If I had to do it all again, I would," she said.

"It was a great day when the former Premier announced a reversal of government policy on greyhound racing in New South Wales because there is a beautiful track in Young and there are thousands of greyhound racing enthusiasts across my electorate and the state."

Ms Hodgkinson said animal welfare was important but the ban was an overreach of government.

"While animal welfare and the humane treatment of animals is incredibly important, we must be very careful about where we draw the line," she said.

"We must be vigilant and make sure that people who breach animal welfare guidelines are reported and dealt with according to the law. This new legislation enhances the enforcement regime.”

Mrs Prest said the Young greyhound racing community were grateful for Ms Hodgkinson's support.

"Katrina was really good for us we could not ask more of her," she said. "She understands the animal husbandry side of our industry."

Mrs Prest said many locals would have suffered if the ban went ahead.

"Our industry does heaps for the local economy," she said.

“The pet shop was going to lose $100,000 a year if the ban went ahead and then the local IGA where we do all our shopping, Robert Donges told me how much of an impact it would have had on his business and we know of many more who would have been negatively affected by the ban if it went ahead."

Mrs Prest said talk of animal cruelty in the industry is upsetting.

"What makes me cranky is the innuendo levelled at our industry that it is cruel, that's not the case, people in this industry love their dogs," she said. "Most people with greyhounds love their dogs, they are looked after so well and they love racing it's not like we make them race, that's impossible."
