Animal welfare groups are calling on Kilflynn Coursing Club in County Kerry to disband, or, if it does not do so voluntarily, that it be compelled to disband by the governing body of live hare coursing in Ireland. The Kilflynn coursing event is scheduled to be the second fixture of the new hare coursing season that begins at the end of this month. Last season, it was a two-day event. This time around, it is to be a three day event, despite the fact that the club staged one of the worst (in terms of hare injuries and “hits”) meeting of the entire 2011/2012 season. The official list of coursing events for the new season that begins this month can be seen on the ICC (Irish Coursing club) website: |

Jump To Comment: 1Minister Jimmy Deenihan of Kerry issues the licences to the coursing clubs. He is to blame for the Kilflynn animal abuse. He condones it and bends over backwards to appeal to these coursing clubs. He must be a heartless and uncaring man and never or ever will get my vote. The hare is a protected species. What a joke, its ironic folk are allowed abuse them in this way.Some people in Ireland just see hares and other creatures as bait, to use and abuse, to satisfy their sick sadistic hungers.
