Petition Legalise hare coursing as a tax paying betting sport.

Before hare coursing was banned in 2005, there were tens of thousands of spectators and gamblers attending the events. The sport has been going since the 1800's and it's what the dogs involved were bred to do. Hares were killed by accident (if any were killed). It's a sport on how fast a dog can run

More details

The hares were given a massive head start on release. The dogs were then let go (2 at a time) and were tested on their speed to catch up, overtake and turn the hare.
