Major hotel sponsoring live hare coursing and hosting big promotional event

category international | animal rights | opinion/analysis author Monday March 28, 2011 22:41author by Anti Blood Sports Report this post to the editors

Let's ask hotel to stop supporting the vile cruelty of enclosed live hare coursing!

Major hotel is both sponsoring live hare coursing events and hosting a big awards night aimed at enhancing the image of coursing clubs in Ireland
Live hare coursing, sponsored by Hotel Minella in Clonmel
Live hare coursing, sponsored by Hotel Minella in Clonmel

Please ask leading hotel to STOP sponsoring hare coursing and NOT to host coursing club awards!

On the evening of Saturday, April 2nd, the Irish Coursing Club will organize a gala event to promote the cruel and discredited so-called “sport of live hare coursing (see notice below).

The ICC Awards 2011 will be held during the club’s annual glitzy dinner dance in the plush Hotel Minella, in Clonmel, County Tipperary.
Apart from hosting this event that aims to glamorize an activity in which timid creatures are snatched from their natural environment and terrorized for fun, Hotel Minella also directly sponsors the cruelty.

Each year, the “Hotel Minella Oaks” features as an integral part of the three-day national hare coursing “festival” in Clonmel.
Obviously, the hotel believes it can benefit financially from supporting this vile blood sport. In doing so, it is completely ignoring the views and feelings of people who wish to see live coursing banned and the endangered Irish Hare protected by law.

Those of us who oppose cruelty to animals dressed up as sport can now make our views known to the hotel. Let’s appeal to its management to cancel the ICC Awards event and to stop financing live hare coursing!

Let them see that people who care about animals will think twice about ever setting foot in their hotel if it continues to sponsor the horrific abuse of one of the gentlest and most inoffensive creatures in the Irish countryside.

You can email the hotel at frontdesk@hotelminella.ie
Alternative, you can phone the hotel. The number (from within Ireland) is 052-6122388 or (from outside Ireland) 353 52 6122388.
