Hare Coursers not happy regarding coursing field that causes many hare casualties.

Regarding Information about a coursing field that causes many hare casualties.

A Coursing supporter rang us today relaying a dispute in the ICC and Limerick Coursing Club as follows.

We received a call today from a disgruntled and annoyed Coursing supporter who was concerned about limerick Race track being used as a coursing venue. He must have ran out of options to resolve this scenario if he rang us.

We already knew that the Irish Coursing Club had decided last month to move the “Irish Cup” hare coursing event from Limerick Racecourse owing to its unsuitability as a coursing venue.
There is however a meeting this week of top coursing people on Thursday, July 26th,at the Horse and Jockey Pub? We are told ‘at which very powerful people within the greyhound industry will be pressing for a reversal of the ICC’s decision to move the “Irish Cup” event from Limerick Racecourse’.

Gentle hares...netted, injected, ear tagged,terrorised, hurt and killed for fun.

Knowing its alleged reputation as a death trap for hares we felt we must highlight this even more disastrous scenario where Limerick Racecourse could continue as a venue.

We ask you to investigate this with a view to lessening hare suffering for fun and entertainment.

We await your reply.
