125 Irish Politicians have voted to continue the annual abuse of the Irish hare in the Irish countryside.
A Dáil vote was held on Wednesday 8th July on a bill introduced by Paul Murphy that would outlaw hare coursing.
The Animal Health and Welfare (Ban on Hare Coursing) Bill 2020, aimed to prohibit the coursing of hares with dogs by amending the Wildlife Act 1976 and the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013.
Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin, Fine Gael, Aontu and Independent Ireland TDs voted against the bill, while 24 TDs representing the political parties: People before Profit-Solidarity, Labour, Social Democrats, Green Party, 100% Redress Party, and one Independent TD, voted in favour.
