Hare coursing: coursing is cruel from beginning to end. Thousands of hares are forcefully snatched from the Irish countryside in nets, kept in captivity for weeks and forced to run for their lives in front of muzzled greyhounds.

The animal is released from a trailer and pursued for up to three hours by a pack of hounds and merciless horseback hunters. The deer is at risk of sustaining painful injuries as it frantically tries to stay ahead. Deer have also died during these hunts. Witness the cruelty of carted deer hunting at:
