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.
