Friday August 02, 2013 00:51 by Protect the Irish Hare
The Irish Hare has endured enough from the so-called "sportsmen" who use it as live bait in a sick bloodsport...
Part of the protest outside Minister Deenihan's office on August 1st, 2013 All friends of Ireland’s wildlife heritage hope Minister Jimmy Deenihan will either not issue a license allowing hare coursing this year…or that, if he has already decided to issue the license the license, he will re-think this appalling decision…
In coursing, hares suffer and die at all stages - during the capture, during the time they are kept in captivity and during the coursing meetings where they run for their lives in front of greyhounds. Among the injuries recorded are broken legs, damaged toes and dislocated hips.
Revulsion…
Hare coursing is not only opposed by a majority in Ireland but also by compassionate people all around the world. On the Care2 website, they have been condemning the blood sport as vile and cruel and expressing support for a ban.
You can read some of the comments from around the world below...

How sick!!!!! - Maria, USA

I've owned wolfhounds and competed in coursing events, but never with live lure...to catch live prey is no longer a necessity...and should be outlawed - Ellen, USA

Anyone who would participate in this VILE display of animal abuse...needs intensive psychiatric counsel - Valerie, Canada
I hate you people that get your kicks from the torture and death of animals - Leanne, Canada
A practice such as this, universally categorized as a blood sport, should be fastidiously rallied against on all fronts - Christina, USA
This is not a sport - it is entertainment for morons! - Wendy, UK
Sad to think that in this day and age that this can be considered "sport" obviously evolution has been dealt a setback - Mike, Virginia
