All good and true but its perfectly legal to be out catching rabbits with a lurcher, now if a lurcher is rabbiting and a hare gets up the dog isn't going to just go "Im not allowed to course that" and return to its handler.
Its all a bit of a joke really. The programme came across like that to me to be perfectly honest, what did you think ? Its a sport that a few years ago was perfectly legal and now its a crime, made me laugh when they said its one of the fastest growing crimes. One minute its fine , the next its a criminal offence
