Campaigners in plea for end to hare coursing
Animal welfare campaigners today called for the hare coursing finals at Powerstown Park, Clonmel, to be the country’s last live coursing event.
The Irish Council against Blood Sports (ICABS) has appealed to the Minister for Arts, Sports and Tourism, John O’Donoghue, to put pressure on coursing clubs to replace live competitions with mechanical lure coursing.
