KEEP Other animals as well as hares are coursed. MikeHobday 23:10, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

KEEP AND EXPAND Coursing deer with Greyhounds had been done for centuries before hare coursing in competition was invented. See the authors Twiti and Turbervile. Furthermore, Scottish Deerhounds on red deer, Saluki's on gazelle and antelope, Borzoi on wolf, Kangaroo dogs on kangaroo etc. all merit their history and description. --Richard Hawkins 17:55, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

It's a stub. Coursing is primarily a hare related sport, the other animals "used" can be aded under hare coursingAndyinMN 22:02, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Death of the hare

Either way, that statement is not neutral. I've removed the statement until perhaps someone can provide support either way. Mikieminnow 11:58, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

The best science I know is section 6.2.3.b.ii. at [1], referenced in the hare coursing article. It looks at 53 kills. While the figures are not laid out as well as might be, it suggests at least 77% of kills were quick. It also suggests that 18 of 53 kills were not by dogs but by handlers, suggesting some delay. It is not clear how many dogs suffered the "extremely painful" injury of being injured other than to the neck or chest. Certainly, photographic evidence on hares being "tugged" by two dogs suggests some pain. MikeHobday 12:52, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Citing coursing in humans

I tried to cite Montgomery, R. A., Raupp, J., Miller, S. A., Wijers, M., Lisowsky, R., Comar, A., ... & Hayward, M. W. (2022). The hunting modes of human predation and potential nonconsumptive effects on animal populations. Biological Conservation, 265, 109398.. I spent ten minutes trying to figure out how to cite this, and I've given up.

I don't understand what to do with a ref that is a long ref, that has multiple authors, and what to do if there already is a ^[2] thing under references. I couldn't find a tool that converted Bibtex to Wikipedia's format. Richlitt (talk) 02:34, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
