Yes lots of the hares do get away but lots don't.
it is - the type described in that report is illegal , and the police do their best to deal with the problem (the police operation in the downs/TVP region is called operation migrate and involves regular police patrols in the hotspot areas) - however the police are reliant on inteligence from locals because they cant be everywhere at once so if you see coursing in progress report it on 999 - also if you can observe without getting too close record vehicle reg numbers and descriptions - but do not try to stop them yourself - I have been fired on by hare coursers in the past.

and kayleigh - I've just reported the troll, hopefully the mods will deal shortly
