Sickening video footage filmed today (29 Oct 2023) showing hares running for their lives at a coursing meeting in Ballinagar, County Offaly - https://youtu.be/4juVA9fIiSQ
Cruel coursing continues thanks to licences shamefully granted by Ministers Darragh O'Brien (Fianna Fail) and Malcolm Noonan (Green Party).
Shame on the Irish Government for refusing to stop this bloodsport. Please join us in contacting the leaders of Fine Gael, Fianna Fail and the Green Party and demanding a long overdue ban on coursing. Remind them that a RED C opinion poll has shown that a 77% majority want the government to ban coursing, with just 9% disagreeing with a ban. A majority in both rural and urban areas are in favour of a ban.
