On the basis of the evidence the Committee has taken, however, it believes that its recommendations in relation to the animal welfare conditions associated with breeding and the transport of greyhounds from Ireland, improvements to microchip databases for the traceability of greyhounds, a provision for the inspection of kennels, and the collection of data on the health and behavioural problems of greyhounds that are retired and rehomed, would lead to a positive change to the quality of life of greyhounds used for racing in Scotland.
