Jump To Comment: 1 2No wonder people with cameras get kicked out of hare coursing events (see link below) ...now we see they have LOTS to hide, not just cruelty to hares that are mauled and batterred by the blooded dogs. The dogs are ill treated too. Doped to make them run faster and a shovel across the back of the head and a shallow grave if they don't perform.
