Critically acclaimed anti-hare coursing memoir now a free e book
With the cruel practise of live hare coursing still shaming our country, I wish to inform everbody that Bad Hare Days, the critically acclaimed memoir by anti-bloodsports campaigner John Fitzgerald, is now available as a free e book (link below).
It tells tthe story not only of the long-running campaign to the Irish Hare protected from this cruelty, but also how that campaign impacted on those who took up the cause of this gentlest of creatures, the daunting political odds that faced them, the workplace bullying endured by some campaigners, Tony Gregory's attempt to tackle the powerful coursing establishment, and how, in some parts of Ireland, the author believed a police "heavy gang" was deployed to suppress anti-coursing activism.
I believe this book may actually help the campaign to end hare coursing. There is no other book I know of dealing specifically with this issue from an anti-blood sports perspective.

I agree that coursing is a disgrace and it should have been banned years ago. I'd like to see some politician follow in Tony Gregory's footsteps and make another attempt to end a "sport" that conists of frightening the living daylights out of hares. I've attended a few of these coursing meetings and was sickened by what I saw. It's an insult to the name of sport and it shouldn't ever be covered in the sports section of any newspaper.
