The horrific practice of live hare coursing in Ireland is kept alive by THREE main financial sponsors:
One of them is County Louth-based betting company, Boylesports, which also has an office in the Isle Of Man.

Hare Coursing: the "sport" that Boylesports keeps alive through sponsorship
On its website, Boylesports refers very briefly and tactfully to the fact that it sponsors “coursing”, without elaborating or explaining that it is LIVE hare coursing, as distinct from drag coursing as practiced in some countries in which no hares are used.
Boylesports offers massive financial backing to the National Coursing Event, the three day fixture which is the culmination or “finals” of the whole barbaric season of this appalling blood sport in Ireland.
By persuading sponsors to withdraw support from hare coursing, you can help to bring it to an end even before our slow-moving politicians get around to accepting that it should be banned. Without funding, hare coursing cannot survive.
Here are the contact details for Boylesports. Please request the company, by email, letter, phone call (or any method that is convenient for you) to cease all funding of this despicable form of animal cruelty:

Once caught - Hasenpfeffer
25.06.2012 11:19
Hasenpfeffer (also spelled hasenfeffer) is a traditional German stew made from marinated hare, cut into stewing-meat sized pieces and braised with onions and wine in a marinade thickened with the animal's blood. Hase is German for hare and Pfeffer is German for pepper, although here it refers generically to the spices and seasonings in the dish, as with the German ginger cookies Pfeffernüsse. Seasonings typically include (besides pepper): salt, onions, garlic, lemon, thyme, rosemary, allspice, juniper berries, cloves, and bay leaf.

Hares captured for coursing in Ireland
The campaign re sponsorship has hare coursers worried bcause without that financial backing, they're a spent force.

Shame on Boylesports for promoting this sickening cruelty!

Ireland should ban this and Boylesports should STOP financing it!
