Letters to the Editor: Illegal hunting presents the real threat to hares

I respond to Mr Enright’s article entitled “the slaughter of hares should shame the nation” in your paper of December 7.

Mr Enright avails of the media’s right to freedom of expression to set out his opinion of coursing and in doing so disparages the people involved by calling them ‘savages’, while completely misrepresenting modern regulated coursing and its supporters. Surely, with such a right comes a duty to do some basic research and at least present the facts to assist the reader’s understanding of the topic.
