Two people have been charged over a video that shows a man kicking and punching a dog.

Greyhound Racing SA stewards charged the pair with 12 offences including ill treatment of a greyhound and failing to exercise care and supervision to prevent pain or suffering.

Their identifies have not been made public but both are registered participants and currently suspended indefinitely.

If found guilty, they could lose their registration for ten years and be disqualified from the sport for at least two years.

An independent body convened by Greyhound Racing SA will investigate the matter but a hearing date has not been set.

Chief executive Bodelle Francis said the organisation was disgusted by the vision and it takes animal welfare seriously.

Ms Francis offered to support prosecutors on any future criminal investigation.

An independent inquiry into the sport will begin in coming weeks.

The video came after SA’s first confirmed case of live baiting which resulted in life bans for three greyhound trainers in June.
