Macau (Yat Yuen) Canidrome, which held the concession for the city’s former greyhound racetrack, has been fined 25 million patacas (US$3.1 million) for abandoning hundreds of racing dogs when the track closed.

The former concessionaire for the Macau (Yat Yuen) Canidrome Co. Ltd., a greyhound racing track, has been fined 25 million patacas (US$3.1 million) for abandoning hundreds of racing dogs when the track was forced to close in July 2018.

According to the Macau Post Daily, the company, headed by gaming executive and city lawmaker Angela Leong On Kei, has already paid the fine, which amounts to 50,000 patacas per greyhound left behind in the racetrack’s kennels when the dog-racing concession ended.
