See the shocking photos that led to top greyhound trainer being charged with a staggering 26 alleged offences
Greyhound Racing SA (GRSA) have slapped Jack Trengrove with more than two dozen breaches of racing industry rules after alleged images from his Two Wells property were sent to the governing body.
Photos taken in 2023 and 2024 appear to show at least three dogs with scarring injuries, kennels kept in poor condition and feeding bowls covered in faeces.
GRSA laid the following charges against the trainer:
Seven charges of inappropriate treatment; six charges of failing to provide adequate veterinary attention; six charges of failing to take reasonable care to prevent suffering; one charge of ill treatment of a greyhound; three charges of dangerous kennel conditions; one charge of failing to follow Animal Welfare Policy; and two charges of hazardous construction of kennels.
The governing body said that Trengove is also suspended effective immediately from training greyhounds.
If the charges are upheld, he faces a minimum penalty of five years ban from racing and a fine of up to $20,000.
Trengrove, who hasn't been charged with any criminal offences, denies wrongdoing and claims the dogs in question were in the care of another person, reports the ABC.
GRSA boss Brenton Scott explained that the charges followed complex investigation within GRSA.
'These charges are the result of a comprehensive and complex investigation by our Integrity, Animal Welfare and Compliance teams under the rules of racing,' he said.
South Australian Racing Minister Emily Bourke also commented on the alleged incident.
'These images are confronting and demonstrate why our government has put the greyhound racing industry on notice to reform,' Ms Bourke said.

Outback Wrangler Matt Wright is supported by his wife as he enters plea over helicopter crash that killed his co-star
Outback Wrangler's Matt Wright has pleaded not guilty to attempting to pervert the course of justice more than three years after a fatal helicopter crash. The reality TV star was charged following the crash that killed co-star Chris 'Willow' Wilson in February 2022. Wearing a light blue shirt and blue jeans, Wright appeared calm when he fronted the Supreme Court in Darwin on Monday. He entered not guilty pleas for three counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice when he was arraigned, kissing his wife during an adjournment. The 2022 crash in remote West Arnhem Land killed Mr Wilson, with pilot Sebastian Robinson also seriously injured. The trial is scheduled to begin on Wednesday and is expected to take four weeks, hearing from about 25 witnesses. Wright rose to fame starring in National Geographic's Outback Wrangler and Netflix series Wild Croc Territory.

EXCLUSIVE I ordered an everyday item of clothing from overseas when it was seized at the Australian border... then came the $2,500 bill to get it back
An Australian business owner has lashed out after his clothing shipment was seized at the border and he was forced to pay more than $2,500 before he could get it back. Andy Lowry, who runs clothing store Pamboes, had ordered a shipment of 'blanket hoodies' from China before they were withheld by the Australian Border Force. Authorities had searched the clothing for illegal materials, however they found nothing suspicious inside of them. Mr Lowry was slugged with a $2,524 bill for airport storage fees and informed he would not be able to collect the items until he settled it. 'Apparently because I'm the importer on record, I had to pay that $2,524 bill and they pretty much told me to get stuffed,' he said. 'This is like the cost of doing business essentially.' Mr Lowry claimed the seizure put him behind schedule for marketing the new clothes. 'I can confirm that [Master Air Waybill number] is subject to border processing and we're unable to provide a timeframe as to when it may be available,' an official advised in an email. 'At this point I'm getting stressed cause they like can't give me a timeframe. I'm like how long are they going to keep it for?' Mr Lowry said. In correspondence from the ABF, Mr Lowry was told he could not collect his items until he paid to lift the storage fees. He believed it would cost a few hundred dollars. 'After I wait a week and a half, I get my storage charges and it's storage for $2,524. For what? A hoodie?' Mr Lowry said. 'Then I sort of had this huge back and forth on why I'm having to pay for this, and lo and behold, it is legal. 'The Australian Border Force can do that to any person who is importing.' Mr Lowry said to chase a reimbursement he was deferred to the Department of Home Affairs. He was told he would have to lodge an investigation and complain. Mr Lowry told Daily Mail Australia any fee 'coming out of nowhere' makes it 'tough' to do business. He said the 'seasonal' business relies on customers purchasing his products at the beginning of winter, and estimates the border mishap in June cost him dearly. Mr Lowry began selling the loungewear during the Covid pandemic before realising there was a market for 'blanket'-style clothes. 'This delay cost us two weeks in June, which would be above a six-figure loss in lost sales,' he said. 'Understandably customers do their winter shopping at the beginning of winter so they can get full use out of whatever they have bought.' When he tried to chase an investigation, Mr Lowry found there was no way around paying the fees, as the importer on record is liable for the costs. 'In the time Australian Border Force is checking your goods, your shipping company is forced to hold the goods at their warehouses until Australian Border Force is finished and storage charges are imposed,' he said. 'Some companies may be kind enough to waive these charges, but understandably they are a business too.' Mr Lowry said the costs around occupying commercial real estate are expensive as port space is in high demand. In general, importing can be 'quite difficult' he said. He added Pamboes has thankfully had few issues but acknowledged he had heard 'horror stories'. 'Border holds cost companies millions each year and it's not something you can really prepare for, it's almost a random check,' he said. 'We understand they have to keep our borders safe, but we pay taxes at the border. You would think part of those taxes we pay would cover ABF's work.' He said it hasn't put him off doing business as Pamboes moves into more fashionable blanket-wear and tries to sell off remaining stock in a winter sale.

Footy fans are slammed for making videos that poke fun at suicide after twin AFL stars Adam and Troy Selwood took their own lives
A leading AFL fan page has issued a grovelling apology after posting videos showing footy supporters mocking suicide in a year that has seen two former players take their own lives. Carlton News & Stats is a popular fan page on social media platform X, run by Blues supporter Adam Joseph. Joseph describes himself as a media personality, ex-journalist and also runs a UK Premier League page on X called No Question About That. His page, which operates under the handle @Upthebaggers, posted the videos after Carlton suffered yet another defeat, this time a 24-point hammering by Hawthorn last Thursday night. Daily Mail Australia has chosen not to publish the clips, which show AFL fans pretending to throw themselves off balconies at the MCG, or hang themselves with their scarves, before laughing about it. Their actions mimic a viral video posted by US comedian Justin Silva, who shot to fame for a clip that makes light of suicide. Silva filmed himself in his apartment, pretending to throw himself over the balcony, drink bleach and set fire to the unit with aerosol spray and a lighter, before making a goofy 'just kidding' face after each action. The furore over the clips on the Carlton page surfaced as the team sits in 12th place on the AFL after a horrible run of form that crushed fans' early-season confidence they would push for the premiership. Frustrated fans have lashed out at the club while a Collingwood supporter was banned from the MCG for five years for sending a death threat to coach Michael Voss. Fans are furious the page joked about suicide after the AFL was left reeling when West Coast premiership winner Adam Selwood's took his own life. Adam tragically died in May aged 41, just three months after his twin brother Troy also committed suicide. Fellow West Coast Grand Final winner Adam Hunter also died earlier this year, aged 43, although police ruled out suicide in that case. Former Collingwood and Richmond AFL player Andrew Krakouer was another footy star who died young in 2025, from a suspected heart attack aged just 42. It comes after the Carlton News & Stats account had previously attacked other content creators for making light of suicide. I keep seeing all this Justin Silva content and he was just in Baltimore. Just realizing this is him… 😂 — Sathickums 🍑 (@sadie_deedee) June 8, 2025 'After my post yesterday, someone reached out to send me this video from The Monday Blues,' the post read. 'That person was deeply troubled by suicide jokes being made by prominent content creators, regardless of it being based on an existing video. 'When I talk about toxic content creators, The Monday Blues, The Jumper Punch, 2 Passionate Bluebaggers, amongst others, are the kinds of creators I am talking about. 'You have influence and choose to use it to capitilise, intentionally or not, on fan frustration. 'That frustration manifests itself into further abuse, vitriol and aggression towards the football club. How is that helpful? 'There is no value add as a content creator if that's what you are doing, regardless of our justified and ongoing frustrations as fans of the footy club.' Carlton News & Stats issued the above apology on X after other content creators threatened to take legal action That led to those content creators threatening to take legal action unless the post was removed. 'Unsure when our podcast has said anything about suicide etc. that this person makes,' one of the 2 Passionate Bluebaggers podcast hosts posted. 'I've already sent this to our solicitor about defamation. The creator has 24hrs to remove this post our I'll be taking it further.' The Carlton News & Stats account later removed the post and apologised for attacking the content creators. 'I want to apologise directly to The Monday Blues, The Jumper Punch and Two Passionate Bluebaggers for a post today that was bang out of order on my part,' the post read. 'Inference between them and something as serious as suicide was wrong, especially with my own lived experience & passion for the mental health space. 'Initially I didn't delete what I said, because it was already out there, screenshotted but as someone pointed out, leaving it up arguably just made it worse. 'Accountability and responsibility is something I need to demonstrate if I want to set an example with my platform. I wasn't doing that with what I said earlier.'
