Urge Green Party leader to stop licensing cruelty

Update: The Irish Council Against Blood Sports very much welcomes the passing of legislation in the Dail on 29 June 2010 to outlaw the hounding of deer with a pack of dogs. The successful Wildlife Amendment Bill 2010 bans the Ward Union deerhunt which for 150 years has been terrorising tame red deer.

We applaud the courage of John Gormley and the Green Party in pushing this legislation through the Oireachtas in the face of hostility from all sides of the house.

UPDATED ACTION ALERT

Please join the Irish Council Against Blood Sports in calling for a ban on hare coursing.

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. When hit, they suffer agonising life-threatening injuries, including broken bones. They are also at risk of suffering and dying from stress-related illnesses. Witness the cruelty of coursing at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D58qbz...
