Plans to ban greyhound racing in Scotland are being introduced.
The bill from Mid Scotland and Fife Green MSP Mark Ruskell has received enough support from across the chamber.
Figures show more than 22,000 greyhounds were injured due to racing between 2018 and 2022 in the UK.
Mr Ruskell said: “This is a milestone moment for my bill and I am grateful to all of the MSPs and campaigners who have helped us to get to this stage.
“Greyhound racing is a cruel sport that causes a huge amount of harm to dogs. Far too many have been killed or badly injured on the tracks.
“There is no safe or humane way to force a group of dogs to run around an oval track at 40 mph and it is totally wrong to make them do it in the name of profit.
“With Wales taking action, Scotland is looking increasingly isolated in allowing this gambling-led spectacle to continue.
“I hope that the Scottish Government and MSPs from all parties will support me and that we can get my bill over the line and end greyhound racing for good.”
