CANDIDATES for the Wiltshire Police Crime and Commissioner role have responded to fears over hare coursing. Those in the running to replace Angus Macpherson on May 6 have promised to tackle the issue across the county as farmers become increasingly worried. Independent Mike Rees told BBC Wiltshire: “The way to deal with these people is strong policing. Don’t be afraid to use your powers, be supported by your leaders in using those powers, and getting these people’s faces. Then they will go somewhere else, but the sentencing does need to be stronger.” Hare coursing is a sport using dogs, usually, greyhounds to hunt hares, which is illegal under the Hunting Act 2004. It can cause damage to farmers’ land and crops.
