Andrew Dutton and Warren Kelly were given the ban after being convicted of hare coursing
Two men have been banned from being anywhere in England and Wales with a dog after being convicted of hare coursing in Ormskirk, West Lancashire.
Lancashire Police said the order bans them from being anywhere in England and Wales in possession or control of a dog other than in their home address and from being with any person anywhere in England and Wales with a dog. It also bans them out of "huge portions" of Lancashire and Merseyside "from acting in a manner that is likely to cause harassment, alarm and distress".
“Many people won’t know that the brown Hare is listed as a Conservation Priority in the UK’s Biodiversity Action Plan, meaning we should be doing all we can to protect this vulnerable species.” Sergeant Darren Car added: “The measures farmers have to put in place to deter these offenders cost considerable amounts of money which in turn is passed onto food consumers.
