SAMPLE LETTER
(If you have time, please compose your own personal letter. Otherwise, send the short sample letter below.)

Dear Minister,

I am writing to urge you to stop licensing the cruel blood sport of hare coursing.

In coursing, hares continue to die at all stages - during the capture, during the time they are kept in captivity, during the coursing meetings and also subsequent to their release back to the wild. Such deaths have been documented by your NPWS division. These timid and fragile creatures die as a result of physical injuries or from the stress caused by human handling and being chased by greyhounds.

I urge you to act on the wishes of the electorate who want this activity outlawed. Please stop licensing coursing and put in place permanent protection for the threatened Irish Hare species.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

[Name/Location]
