Keep coursing out of sports coverage: Appeal to RTE 3 February 2009
On 6th February 2008, RTE Radio included a report from the national coursing finals in its sports coverage. Please join our appeal to the station to keep animal cruelty out of its sports reports in 2009.
SAMPLE LETTER (If you have time, please compose your own personal letter. Otherwise, feel free to send the short sample letter below. Be assertive, but polite, in all correspondence. Thank you.)
I am one of the majority of Irish people who are opposed to the cruel blood sport of hare coursing. Last February 6th, RTE Radio included a report on this cruelty in its sports coverage. I find this totally unacceptable. Coursing should never be classified as a sport by your station - it is one of Ireland's worst forms of animal cruelty, causing horrific injuries and death to the Irish Hare.
RTE - Please keep cruelty out of your sports reports!
