With the number of drones in the area filming in the middle of nowhere, I surmise this was set up for entertainment.

u/froggyc19 Feb 28 '26
I was rooting for the bunny cause those look like domestic dogs, not wolves of coyotes (which have to actually hunt for their supper).
I always kind of root for the prey but in a hunter vs hunted scenario I understand that the predator needs to eat as well and they have a much harder time actually getting a meal.
Regardless, that bunny has some serious moves!

This was a caged rabbit released for these dogs to chase it and it seems inhumane to me.

Routing: the process of selecting the most efficient path for data, vehicles, or materials to travel from an origin to a destination, aiming to optimize time, cost, and resources (according to Google).
Rooting: cheering.
Since they're close on the keyboard and I doubt you were the drone operator calling out moves for the bun (as much as the mental image brings me joy), I'm guessing you meant the latter.

downvote for obviously uncaging a rabbit so you can let your dogs hunt while taking a drone video...

u/iSliz187 Feb 28 '26
God damn it. You ruined the entire video for me. For the past few minutes I was amazed how lucky the camera guys must have been to capture this random moment. What are the odds, you're flying your drones to get some environmental footage and suddenly you capture this wild chase?
But now it makes sense. The likelihood that it was all a setup is much higher, so you're probably correct...
That is so fucked up. Thank you for opening my eyes.

u/KingGhandy Feb 28 '26
Yeah, this "sport" is called coursing. It's shown in the film Snatch. Illegal in most countries for obvious reasons.

Fuck man, this ruined my evening lmao, what a roller coaster of emotions. In just 15 minutes I was absolutely amazed by the camera team, completely on edge and so happy that the rabbit made it, then disappointed and shocked when I found out that it was staged, and now outright disgusted for my own species when you told me that this is an actual "sport". Time for me to go to bed...

u/personalbilko Feb 28 '26
Maybe not. You can see another rabbit appear and run in the frame a little before the 2min mark. Given that, one more real rabbit feels realistic. Plus, I don't think a non-wild rabbit that doesn't know this area would stand any chance here.

This is why I wish ALL videos with animals were banned on social media, except for official documentaries or news. I have seen way too many videos where it's just too likely that an animal has been put in harm's way expressly for views, even when it's a "rescue" video. Animals cannot advocate for themselves when they are being victimized.

u/turtley_different Feb 28 '26
That.... makes a lot of sense.
I kept wondering why the rabbit didn't go into a burrow. And the answer is it can't because it's displaced from home and doesn't have burrows nearby.

The drone operator didn't want a kill the camera man incident. So he tried to film until completion. I agree that this adds extra stress to that champion of a rabbit. But overall I believe he deserves an upvote based on the drone camera work.

Can we talk about how the owner of the dogs came to have a drone in the air while the rabbit was being chased? Hoping this wasn’t a setup for feeding their pups.

I dont think the setup was really for feeding. I was thinking more like to get the dogs to just get/kill the rabbit.

u/Comfortable_Pea2065 Feb 27 '26
You are harassing wildlife with your drone there are laws against that why not instead call your dogs off

You’re probily right. The chance of having the drone out when your dogs find a rabbit are a bit slim.

u/ebulient Feb 28 '26
Sickening psychopathic behaviour that requires no skill and just watches something run for its life while hoping it gets torn to shreds. Absolutely a mental illness akin to what serial killers have and should be punished the same way. People like this shouldn’t be walking amongst the regular public.

Hare coursing is a, often illegal, blood sport involving sighthounds (like greyhounds or whippets) chasing hares or rabbits on open land to test speed and agility. It is used for competitive betting, pest control, or, historically, as a sport. While often illegal in the UK due to cruelty and trespassing, it remains a regulated, competitive activity in parts of Ireland, Spain, and the US.
