Protection Of Hares

EDM number 1766 in 2005-06, proposed by Dr William McCrea on 07/03/2006.

That this House welcomes the announcement by the Department of Environment Northern Ireland that it will establish a temporary protection order to prevent the killing, taking and trade in Irish hares; is concerned that the results of the 2005 Irish Hare Survey show a 40 per cent. reduction in the population from 2004 figures; notes that this raises concerns about the long-term viability of the hare population; recognises the role that legal and illegal coursing have played in the decline of the hare population; and calls on the Government to introduce legislation as soon as possible to ensure permanent protection for the Irish hare to help secure the long-term survival of the species.

This motion has been signed by a total of 49 MPs.
