Despite being threatened and intimidated by coursing thugs on Saturday 6th January, the Irish Council Against Blood Sports succeeded in capturing evidence of despicable animal cruelty taking place in the town park in Millstreet, County Cork. Among the victims was this hare who suffered a hit when caught by two unleashed greyhounds. Shame on Millstreet for hosting this deplorable bloodsport. Allowing animal cruelty to openly take place in its public park reflects very poorly on the town. Please sign and share the "Ban Hare Coursing" petition https://www.change.org/p/ireland-ban-cruel-hare-coursing and join us as we renew our appeal to the government to ban coursing. ACTION ALERT Please join us in a fresh appeal to Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and the Irish Government to put in place a permanent ban on hare coursing.
