New Campaign Video aids campaign to Ban Hare Coursing

category international | miscellaneous | press release author Tuesday July 19, 2011 20:55author by End Hare Coursing! Report this post to the editors

Arts Minister Jimmy Deenihan has received an application from the Irish Coursing Club for this year's hare netting license. This will enable coursing clubs nationwide to capture hares for cruelty sessions.
Captive hares await the terror of the coursing field...
Captive hares await the terror of the coursing field...

A new campaign video released by the Irish Council Against Bloods Sports aims to highlight awareness of the barbarism of live hare coursing as Minister Jimmy Deenihan decides on whether to grant a license permitting another season of stomach-wrenching cruelty involving more than 7000 hares.

The animals will be captured with nets by gangs roaming the countryside, beating the bushes with sticks and roaring to frighten and bully the hares from their little "homes" in the countryside. Many hares die even before being taken into captivity, entangled in the nets. These injured ones are either killed on the spot with sticks, a few kicks, or amateur "karate chops" to the back of the neck.

The unlucky injured hares are fed live to dogs as part of the blooding process in training. Hares die in captivity too, unaccustomed to the confined situation and the herd environment which is unnatural to them. And on coursing day the animals will be goaded into the enclosures from little boxes to be terrororized and exposed to further injury and extreme stress, or mauling by the dogs- all for a laugh and a gamble.

The new campaign video is very short but most revealing and to the point:

Have a look at this video....it shows the Cambridgeshire police crushing a car that belonged to a hare courser...on the orders of a judge.

Here in Ireland, police direct traffic outside live hare coursing events while animals are terrororized and tossed about like rag dolls for fun and gambling.
