Drag coursing, in which dogs chase an artificial plastic lure, eliminates the hare suffering associated with live hare coursing.<br /><br />Every coursing season in Ireland, hares suffer the stress of being removed from their habitats, thrown into boxes and confined in enclosures for weeks and months.<br /><br />During coursing, hares suffer the fear of running for their lives in front of greyhounds. The hares that are hit suffer life-threatening internal injuries. Among the injuries are broken bones and dislocated hips. Hares may also die from stress-related capture myopathy, days and weeks after re-release back to the wild.<br /><br />The footage in this video was filmed in the US.<br />Music "DLDN Instrumental" thanks to Timberman<br /><br />Join our campaign to secure a ban on hare coursing:<br />Click on "Campaigns" at www.banbloodsports.com<br /><br />Please consider supporting our work with a donation - Click on the Paypal button at www.banbloodsports.com<br /><br />Thank you for your support.
