Club loses coursing license after report from conservation ranger

The damning report concerns coursing — which involves muzzled greyhounds chasing hares in an open field.

A damning report on activities at a hare coursing club in Galway details hares being left in boxes alongside dead hares and left in “shock” before being euthanised.

The report also revealed poor practices by vets in attendance, one of whom left the animals in boxes to watch his own dog run.
