Alleged Issue of Abuse of Greyhounds: Irish Coursing Club

Mr. D.J. Histon:

I differ with the Deputy in that regard. She mentioned netting the hare, which is a century-old way of capturing any animal and is the safest way to do it. There is not much point in capturing an animal if it will be injured, given that it would not be of value for an event.
