🐰 ACTION ALERT: Urge TDs to vote in FAVOUR of a ban on Hare Coursing 2nd July!

Sample letter and email list from our friends at Ban Bloodsports below 👇

✍️ Dear Deputy,
I am writing to ask that you please help bring cruel hare coursing to an end in Ireland by voting in favour of Paul Murphy TD’s Animal Health & Welfare (Ban on Hare Coursing) Bill 2020 when it returns to the Dail on 2nd July.
Under licence from the Department of Heritage, coursers net thousands of hares from the wild, transport them in boxes to coursing compounds, manhandle them, hold them in captivity for weeks/months and eventually force them to run for their lives in front of greyhounds.
All the hares suffer fear and stress and, despite the muzzling of the dogs, hares are injured and killed every coursing season when they are caught and mauled. Among the injuries documented are broken back, spinal injury, broken legs, damaged toes and dislocated hips.
Hares suffer at all stages – during capture, while held captive and at the coursing meetings where they can be seen desperately running as a merciless mob cheer the dogs on and gamble on which will be first to force the hare to change direction. Coursing compromises the welfare of hares and those who survive the ordeal remain at risk of dying from stress-related capture myopathy in the days and weeks after they are released back to the wild.
With the suffering, stress, injury and death caused to hares at coursing meetings, there should be no hesitation in finally ending this shameful activity. This would be widely welcomed by the 77% majority of Irish citizens who want coursing banned (just 9% disagree with a ban. Source: RED C poll).
Ireland is in the middle of a biodiversity crisis and it’s time for the iconic Irish Hare to be given full protection and allowed to live free from persecution.
Please support the Animal Health & Welfare (Ban on Hare Coursing) Bill 2020 on 2nd July.
Thank you. I look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
[Name/Address]

It might be fun to you, but it's terror for her.
Have compassion for hares and support the 'Animal Health and Welfare (Ban on Hare Coursing) Bill 2020'. Ask your TDs to back the bill on the 2nd of July.

Like this post if you are standing up for her, and hares across Ireland with this action! 🙏

She doesn't deserve to be terrified for your 'entertainment'.

Hare coursing is legal in Ireland, but that needs to change.
And with your help, we can make that happen now.

Because on the 2nd July 2026, the 'Animal Health and Welfare (Ban on Hare Coursing) Bill 2020' will reach Second Stage in the Dáil. This means TDs will debate and vote on it.

We have a small amount of time to push and to do the right thing, but we need your help to make that happen!

Write to your TDs and urge them to vote in favour of the bill.
Together, we can end this cruel bloodsport 🐇

Is it really that 'weird' to find this utterly unacceptable?

This is no life for these animals - because the motivation is profit and not their interests.
Animal lovers don't support animal farming. And if vegans are 'weird' for refusing to pay to support animal abuse... then I'd always choose 'weird'.

Don't believe the marketing.
There is no ethical way to eat an animal who doesn't want to die 💔
