Don’t forget the cost of cruelty to humans

THE Green Party is making a major issue of hare coursing in their second negotiation for a programme for (mis)government.

The Greens claim, with some validity, that hare coursing is cruel to animals.

The Greens are likely to give way on hare coursing because there is too much money involved and too much support for it among rural Fianna Fáil members and backbenchers.
