Every year in Ireland, thousands of hares are violently netted from the wild and used as lures for greyhounds in "hare coursing". These timid, delicate creatures suffer the fear and stress of running for their lives. Those hit by the muzzled greyhounds sustain painful and life-threatening injuries. Here is a small sample of the victims of this cruel activity (as revealed in official reports from the National Parks and Wildlife Service). Opinion polls have shown that a majority of Irish people want hare coursing banned - as it already is in our neighbouring jurisdictions of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland.
