New survey aims to put end to barbaric hare coursing
2 March 2021 |
The survey is asking farmers for evidence as the crime continues to plague rural areas
Farmers are being asked to confidentially share evidence of the real prevalence of hare coursing amid fears the crime is significantly underreported.
The Yorkshire Agricultural Society (YAS) has launched the survey in collaboration with the National Rural Crime Network, NFU and the Country Land and Business Association (CLA).
The barbaric act of hare coursing continues to plague rural communities across the country, the groups warn.
In some cases, online betting is believed to fund these criminals who are linked with other serious organised crime in both rural and urban areas.
Farmers and landowners are being asked to respond to a nationwide survey on hare coursing amid concerns about the significant underreporting of incidents.

The killing of hundreds of wedge-tailed eagles in Gippsland and the deaths of dozens of koalas during the bulldozing of a plantation are two examples of how Victoriaâs environment laws are failing to protect the stateâs wildlife.
In a report released on Monday by the Humane Society International and Environment Justice Australia, conservationists decry the stateâs outdated laws as being part of the problem facing wildlife rather than a means to protect it.
