A good day for Irish hares!

category international | animal rights | opinion/analysis author Sunday June 19, 2011 16:27author by Protecting Irish Hares from Coursing Cruelty Report this post to the editors

Hateful pro-hare coursing internet site shut down!
The "sport that the Greyhound Nuts site promoted...
The "sport that the Greyhound Nuts site promoted...

The hateful internet chat and information site "Greyhound Nuts" has just been shut down. This represents a heartening development for everyone in Ireland who has campaigned for the welfare of both greyhounds and the innocent hares usung in cruel coursing.

"Greyhound Nuts" saw itself as a no holds barred Ireland-based forum where any fan of hare coursing in particular could say litearally anything about those opposed to their bloodsport. The laws of libel didn't seem to apply. Horrendous lies were routinely peddled about named individuals who happened to disapprove of setting up hares to be baited and terrorized at coursing venues....or anyone who had ever, in the media or in any public forum, said a word against the ill-treatment of unwanted greyhounds. Vicious name-calling and character assassination was commonplace, with the wildest of fabrications posted and allowed to remain despite challenges from the innocent people targeted.

The site had resorted on a daily basis to every possible underhanded trick to undermine campaign groups like the Irish Council Against Blood Sports, the Hunt Saboteurs, the Animal Rights Action Network, and the Campaign for the Abolition of Cruel Sports, It saw these groups as a threat to their beloved animal baiting pastimes.

As well as lavishing praise on the most appalling cruelty to hares in coursing, the site carried numerous postings that sought to justify blooding, the practise wherein live hares, rabbits, and cats, are fed to greyhounds to whet their appetite for blood...before a coursing or track event. When one fan for example asked if live rabbits would be good in blooding, another suggested tom cats owing to their tough skin and staying power

Cyber-space is a lot healther and cleaner this morning after the closing of this abhorrent website!
