Yat Yuen Canidrome, the only greyhound racing stadium in Asia, is back on track as the Macau government renewed its contract for a year.

According to Macau’s Official Gazette, the Canidrome’s exclusive contract, which was scheduled to expire end of this year, was renewed until 31st December next year.

Albano Martins, president of Anima or the Society for the Protection of Animals, criticized the decision saying Canidrome’s executive director Angela Leong has playing with government’s sensitive issues.

“This lady has a concession for a greyhound racing track, now she is saying she wants to protect the city’s creative industries and wants to create housing for the youth, as if she were the owner of the land and thinks we’re all stupid,” told Macau TDM.
