The majority of Irish people oppose Hare Coursing. Muzzling introduced in 1993 did not stop hares being battered and mauled by the muzzled dogs . Greyhounds are big strong dogs and hares sustain internal injuries by being tossed around by frustrated dogs who cannot do what comes instinctivly. Many will sustain injuries so severe that they will die on the coursing field, the dogs also sustain injuries in the chase. Gentle wild Hares running for their lives to entertain those who are lacking empathy is wrong. Please sign now and let the Irish Government know that it is now time to END live hare coursing.
For those who inflict and allow Cruelty and Suffering to Innocent Animals must be severely punished and face imprisonment for their Crime's ~

I believe hare coursing should be banned because I do not think wild animals should be used for sport or entertainment. Even when events are regulated, the hare is still chased, frightened, and put under unnecessary stress. I believe no animal should have to experience fear or risk injury simply for a recreational activity.
I also believe there are more humane ways to preserve cultural traditions that do not involve live animals.

The lrish hare is a rare unique animal which has to be legally protected from human aggression.
