Hare coursing involves releasing dogs to chase hares; it causes extreme fear and often injury or death, and is banned in many jurisdictions.
Hare coursing subjects hares to extreme predatory pursuit causing intense fear, exertion, and often physical injury or death. Even when hares escape, the experience is traumatic and energetically costly during crucial periods. Illegal coursing events operate across agricultural land with minimal welfare consideration. Full ban and enforcement are the welfare-positive outcomes.
