Hare coursing was a barbaric pastime that was a curse on our countryside until banned by the Labour Government.
The inherent cruelty of coursing hares is opposed by the vast majority, indeed no less a Conservative than Margaret Thatcher voted for its abolition prior to the 1970 election.
David Cameron has pledged that should his Conservatives win power in the general election, he will provide the opportunity in Parliament to make hare coursing legal again.
