Thanks to all who signed the new petition "Save the Irish Hare from extinction!"
 
Hare coursing is temporarily banned in Ireland (for the first time ever) due to outbreaks of a deadly disease that is fatal to hares and rabbits. Campaigners againt the cruel "sport" are appealing to the Irish government to make that ban PERMANENT.
 
Manwhile, pro-hare coursing politicians are pressing furiously for the lifting of the ban. The petition will hopefully persuade the government to take the side of the persecuted Irish Hare, instead of yielding once again to the powerful and lavishly financed pro-bloodsports lobby.
 
Here is the petition. If you have already signed it, you could perhaps share it with a friend. Thank you!
