"The rules of coursing are designed specifically to assist the hare to escape. In an average season, seven out of eight hares coursed escape," said the club's website.
That's alright, then.
Bloke on the news there just answered (when asked if he would continue coursing after the ban) "well, I occaisionally speed when I'm late for the races - this is pretty much the same thing".
Bet he complains about speed cameras. just being there to make his life a misery.

Report on yesterdays Waterloo Cup... From the League Against Cruel Sports, I really don't want to go onto the Countryside Alliance's Website to find the counter arguement!!! If anyone does, then that's fine by me!!
ONLY 4 hares killed yesterday, so that's ok then.... wankers... :o(

Anyone know just what the constitutional rammifications are if they do take this to the Lords? Surely if they decide that hte Parliamen tary Act doesn't stand, they are fundamentally challenging the make up of HM Govt?

All that porn you link to gets blocked my my work ;-)
I don't think there's a hope in hell of the Lords finding in favour (and certainly not hte Human Rights court). Was just interested in what it could mean theoretically. If they decided that the parliamentary act (which can be invoked to bypass them) doesn't stand are they effectively setting up a challenge to the supremacy of HM Gov and the democaratic rights of the land.
