one of my relations was watching somthing on tv last week about farmers complaining it riddled with hares on there land now and they want coursing back in the uk

taken from an anti website but it gives some info ....

The Irish hare may lose its protection in Northern Ireland after the Stormont Environment Committee decided against putting it on a protection schedule.

 

 

 

 

 

Members debated its future as part of the Wildlife and Natural Environment Bill.

 

 

 

 

Unless its special protection order is renewed in September, the hare could be taken for coursing or killed.

 

 

 

 

The protection order began in 2003 when it was discovered that hare numbers had declined. They have since stabilised.

 

 

 

 

The NI Assembly committee decided not to place it in the safety of Schedule 5 in the new wildlife Bill. Schedule 5 provides total protection for any species listed under it.

 

 

 

 

The Irish hare attracted major conservation concern following a sustained population decline in Northern Ireland in the 1980s and 1990s.

 

 

 

 

The committee heard that although the hares numbers in Northern Ireland had dropped alarmingly, they have since recovered but are still at a relatively low level.

 

 

Hare coursing will start again if protection is lifted!

 

 

Keeping the order in place means the species has to be monitored and counted annually and the cost of that can be about %uFFFD40,000 a year.

 

 

 

 

The BBC understand that the temporary order may not be renewed in September, leaving the Irish hare to its fate.

 

 

 

 

If protection is removed in the Autumn it could allow hare coursing to start again. Although legal in the Republic of Ireland, coursing was stopped in NI in 2003 when the protection order began.

 

 

 

 

One glimmer of good news for the hare is that they will not be caught in snares. The Environment Committee voted to ban the use of snares in Northern Ireland.

 

 

 

 

It had considered allowing them to continue under strict licence but decided that a total ban was the best way forward.

 

 

 

 

The Wildlife and Natural Environment Bill will go before the Northern Ireland Assembly later in the year for final approval

 

Please don't let Northern Irish Politicans bring back the savage brutality to hares. Barbaric primitive cruelty must stay in the past where it belongs.
