Calls for hare coursing crackdown after ‘truly terrifying’ intimidation

Countryside leaders called for tougher action against hare coursers after a dramatic rise in criminal incidents across East Anglia – including threats against landowners and the ramming of their vehicles.

I'm all for tougher action. Luckily though, I haven't seen any evidence of Hare coursing in my local area in recent years. A new group of Hares further afield that I've been watching does have an injured Hare but I can't be sure of the cause. A telltale sign is when Lurchers get left behind on the land.

It's lampers that are causing trouble round me. They are truly sick individuals, killing for the sake of it and driving anywhere over the land, through hedges, across crops, breaking gates and barriers. Early last autumn a roe doe and two fawns were killed a few fields away from me. The b*st*rds had brought them down, driven round and round them shooting them to pieces.
If I could have my way none of this filth would ever be able to breed more of their kind.

It is bad enough reading these reports but to have it happening on your land as many are in East Anglia must be a nightmare.
I don't know what the solution is but hopefully if different agencies can work together something might be done in the future,more culprits being caught and higher penalties might help

I agree Jan. Piddly little fines won't stop them. They make me sick.

Huge fines and custodial sentences for this barbaric lot, nothing less would suffice.

Fines? Jail? Nah, I'd lob off a few bits and pieces.

I have no idea if this goes on in my local area as I no longer live in the country, I hate cruel sport and the killing of animals or birds for so called pleasure. A few years ago when I did live in the country near a small river some Ba****ds use shoot ducks, they hated me because as soon as I saw their vehicle arrive I would rush down to the river and continue to walk as fast as I could along the river bank sounding an air horn.

Well done for doing that John, great job done there.
