AR-News: (UK) Hare-brained tourist hunt

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

SO WHICH one would you rather be? The slavering dog with the rather fetching 
neck-warmer or the fleet-footed hare showing the canine a clean pair of heels? 

This is country sport as still practised in England and a striking image from 
the annual Waterloo Cup hare-coursing event, which took place near Liverpool 
last week, despite the continuing protests of animal rights groups. 

Hare coursing, once regarded as a noble contest between beasts, is now 
non-existent in Scotland - officially at least. But Scotland does have its very own 
Country Sports Tourism Group, formed by an alliance of countryside interests 
and public sector bodies such as Scottish Enterprise and VisitScotland.
