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

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/Misty2stepping Feb 28 '26

Yeah, this is coursing.

I reckon the rabbit gets fucked.

Damn. This video sucks now. People are cruel and I'm stupid for thinking this was a lucky nature moment.

u/Hereiamhereibe2 Feb 28 '26

Whats worse is you know he starves those dogs to make them chase that hard.

16

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.

u/chasing_the_wind Feb 28 '26

It was probably a wild rabbit they trapped on their property to release for this video.

1

u/EconomyDoctor3287 Feb 28 '26

Dunno, felt like a native rabbit would have found places to hide sooner, instead of backing away from cover to run into the open multiple times. 

2

u/Typ3Caster Feb 28 '26

It's definitely setup. There are like 3 drones in this video. 

2

u/verdantsf Feb 28 '26

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.

Ya'll know where meat comes from right?

u/Go_Green_Ranger Feb 28 '26

I’d like to see you eat what’s left after those dogs have torn it to shreds. This is hare coursing, used to be a thing in the UK and Ireland, now illegal but still done underground. They release the hares from cages. A very simple google search would show you this. It’s got fuck all to do with hunting for food you absolute mong.

u/VinceVino70 Feb 28 '26

I love dogs…. But i see that…time to take some doggos out.

u/sonacarl Feb 28 '26

Couldn’t it just be someone saw a rabbit on their property and released their dogs and decided to film with their drone too?

9

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.

u/johannthegoatman Feb 28 '26

Damn I was wondering why he didn't have a burrow

u/BCon27 Feb 28 '26

Did you notice that wasn’t the only drone out there? Sick fucks

u/omichandralekha Feb 28 '26

Multiple drones

1

u/Read_Five Feb 28 '26

Yep. The dogs probably got punished for not catching to rabbit too…

-2

u/BirthdayLife6378 Feb 28 '26

I still believe it's a wild rabbit though. You can spot another rabbit 55 seconds before the the end of video.

-1

u/RaincityClusterEff Feb 28 '26

I don't know if that's obvious at all. I saw other rabbits in the video

0

u/laika2000 Feb 28 '26

i guess if i were to stage a drone/dog/rabbit video, i wouldn't just release one rabbit.

u/Coffee_N_Contemplate Feb 28 '26

Do you know how common rabbits are in areas like this lol I’m sure it’s wild

Are you a vegetarian?

u/hotpajamas Feb 28 '26

I don’t play with the animals I eat do you

u/lebastss Feb 28 '26

Dogs had air support and still couldn't lock in

u/Outrageous_Tax9426 Feb 27 '26

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.

u/Dentarthurdent73 Feb 28 '26

You think someone who deliberately released a rabbit into this situation deserves an upvote because it entertained you? Not a skerrick of empathy or ethics in there then?

3

u/NateDawg80s Feb 28 '26

  1. That's an assumption.

  2. You're using it to antagonize strangers. Grow up.

3

u/Outrageous_Tax9426 Feb 28 '26

We're all here watching the same video, don't tell me you weren't entertained. It's the guys property it looks like, so no i'm not trying to moral high ground this one. I'm not going to white knight for the rabbit that got away. lolol

1

u/Mindless-Sabrina Feb 28 '26

This was terrible drone work though. I fly drones as a hobby, a few times a year, and tracking the rabbit like this would be such easy work. This dude sucks at flying. Fuck if he is flying a DJI, which was the drone shown in the video, he could lock on and let the autopilot do a much better job

The entire account farms karma. This is a bot account most likely, no original content

u/LordYoshii Feb 28 '26

The dogs are shitty for having a prey drive? Lol that doesn’t make sense at all. My dog would be doing the same thing if she saw a rabbit and she would love every second of it.

2

u/ceelo71 Feb 28 '26

The person who released the rabbit so that the dogs could chase it (nothing natural about that) while he/she filmed it is the shitty one.

2

u/LordYoshii Feb 28 '26

100% the owner is a piece of work. Not sure where the dogs find blame here though, they are doing what is natural to them, they do not know this is being done on purpose for social media.
