Good Man 196 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 In my opinion, the uk open coursing that was going on before the ban, was a lot better, as their hares were on their own ground and showed a better test. The irish coursing is about which greyhound gets to the hare first and that's it, they also have to where muzzles. The hares are caught and kept in pens, then released in front of the greyhounds, not my cup of tea! In the uk, before the ban, the hare were not caught and kept in pens. Just have a look below at the waterloo cup, what a difference.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IaEzF99jFQ&feature=player_embedded#! Quote Link to post
