A hare is hit and pinned to the ground by greyhounds during the JP McManus-sponsored Irish Cup coursing meeting at Limerick Racecourse. Filmed by the Irish Council Against Blood Sports. February 2013. <br /><br />The hare can be seen desperately struggling to escape as the greyhounds pin it to the ground - further proof that the muzzling of greyhounds does not save hares from suffering and that as long as live lures are used, the cruelty will continue. <br /><br />Sign our petition - "Limerick Racecourse: Stop hosting cruel hare coursing" <br />https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/limerick-racecourse-stop-hosting-cruel-hare-coursing <br /><br />Join the campaign against hare coursing at <br />www.banbloodsports.com <br /><br />Ask the Minister for Agriculture to ban hare coursing in Ireland <br />Email: minister@agriculture.gov.ie <br />Tel: +353 1 607 2884 <br /><br />Ask Limerick Racecourse to stop hosting coursing <br />Email: info@limerickraces.ie <br />Tel: +353 61 320 000 <br /><br />Urge your local TDs to back a ban on hare coursing.
