We are allowed to share this with Mike Huskissons permission. Like I said to him, last night I was thinking to myself, the hunters are chasing and killing pregnant animals at the moment. How low can these people go. Here is a reminder from the 2000 Lord Burns Hunting Inquiry of the barbarism inherent in bloodsports. The Inquiry arranged for post mortems on 12 hares killed during organised hare coursing. Of the 12 hares examined 8 were female and 4 were male. Of the 8 females 5 were pregnant and of these 3 were lactating. Two of the pregnant hares were assessed as being in “early” pregnancy, 2 in “mid term” pregnancy and 1 was described as “full term” pregnant. Three were found to contain 2 foetuses each and 2 contained 3 foetuses. It was hare reference number 5 that was assessed as “full term” pregnant. Her reproductive status was described thus: “Mature Female. Advanced late pregnancy (two large fully-haired foetuses, weighing 176 and 162g resp. located one in each uterine horn). Milk in mammary glands.” Her state was summarised: “This heavily pregnant female hare was in good condition. The large size of the foetuses and presence of milk in the mammary glands suggests she was close to giving birth.” They call this “sport” and David Cameron wants to make it legal again.
