A hare runs for its life on rain-soaked coursing field
- 10 years ago
Ireland's hare coursing cruelty - a hare runs for its life from greyhounds on a rain-soaked coursing field.
Every year, thousands of hares are forcefully netted from the wild and used as live bait for greyhounds. Hares caught and hit by the muzzled dogs are likely to suffer painful internal injuries. Every coursing season, hares are injured and killed on coursing fields. Injuries include broken bones and dislocated hips. Please join our campaign for a ban on this disgusting cruelty which a majority in Irish people want banned.
