Nothing has changed..
One has to wonder how on earth does an ex greyhound trainer – who once trained a champion dog that was later found dumped in an emaciated and in a severley neglected condition – manage to secure the position of Director of operations for Battersea Dogs Home?
Picture – Velvet Rebel once trained by Peter Laurie and present CEO of the Retired Greyhound Trust – found abandoned in dreadful condition. Rescued by Tia Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue and now enjoying a safe and loving life 
EDIT: Peter Laurie was not the last trainer or breeder to exploit Velvet Rebel – the dog was passed on to Charles Lister OBE and then a breeder. Regardless – Peter Laurie still earned money from this dog and still supports a racing/gambling industry that is responsible for the suffering and deaths of thousands of dogs every year.
Velvet Rebel has since passed away after years in a loving home.
