Hare Coursing

Hare coursing involves setting two running dogs onto a brown hare. The dogs compete by chasing the hare, judged on how closely they follow its twists and turns — often ending in the hare being caught and killed.

💰 Gambling is frequently involved.
🐾 The dogs are not just hunting — they’re competing.

This is illegal, causes immense suffering, and poses a serious threat to our wildlife and rural communities.

📞 If you witness hare coursing in progress, call 999 immediately.
📱 For non-urgent reports, call 101 or report online:
