Dear Mr Jones
Thank you for your e-mail regarding 'Countryfile' broadcast on 6 December 2009.
I understand you're unhappy with a report on hare coursing.
'Countryfile' aims to cover all issues affecting the British countryside, and
this particular film was about wildlife crime. Hare coursing is currently
illegal, and was presented as such. It's not for 'Countryfile' to make value
judgements on what should or should not be a crime.
I appreciate you feel quite strongly about this issue and I'd like to assure you
that I have registered your comments on our audience lo
