Tuesday April 08, 2014 09:01 by Abolish Hare Coursing in Ireland
Irish greyhound industry in turmoil... The news that six greyhounds that participated in this year’s National Hare Coursing Festival have tested positive for banned substances can be offered as yet further evidence of the true nature of live hare coursing. In addition to being a cruel blood sport, the whole practice of live hare coursing in Ireland is steeped in corruption and illegality. |

Hare coursing cruelty
Will the Irish Labour Party not speak out, and campaign against, this as its UK counterpart has done?
No wonder people with cameras get kicked out of hare coursing events (see link below) ...now we see they have LOTS to hide, not just cruelty to hares that are mauled and batterred by the blooded dogs. The dogs are ill treated too. Doped to make them run faster and a shovel across the back of the head and a shallow grave if they don't perform.
