Re: [Adastra] March Hares

An interesting but sad take on this issue that you may already be aware of:-
 
Hares attract a certain cultural minority that like to course them with their 
their long dogs, when challenged by landowners etc they are extrememly 
aggressive and threaten to burn down barns, housesetc. The Police appear to be 
powerless (or scared) and nothing is done. The only defence of the landowner is 
to shoot every hare he sees on his land in the hope that the "cousins" will go 
elswhere.

Does anyone know of any good sites in Sussex for seeing courting hares? I've 
not seen them since I was a kid (at Long Furlong near Findon).

Thanks!
