Please get in touch if you have seen a white hare in your area this year. Although white Irish hares are usually considered rare, there was an unprecedented number of reported sightings during the 2010/2011 winter. We are continuing the survey to provide further data on the white Irish hare phenomenon. Please send us your sighting, along with the date and nearest town or village - attach a photograph if you have one.

Campaign for closed season for brown hares in Great Britain

















Right now there is absolutely no legislation that protects brown hares in Great Britain. It is legal for people to trap and kill hares at any time of the year, leaving the young to perish. If hares are not protected soon, they will disappear forever.
TELL THE UK GOVERNMENT TO INTRODUCE LEGISLATION TO PROTECT HARES
Petition Mr. Enda Kenny TD to

 Protect the Irish Hare!
