Here's an interesting - if gruesome - one. It's one of the many hares that live - or lived - out on the arable acres of our farm, and has been savaged by the hare coursing gangs that drive over our fields late at night, uninvited and unwelcome. The hare would have been safe among the livestock fields, as they are fenced and locked; the hare coursers haven't started driving across those - yet - and do their foul work on the open wheat and barley fields. I'm waiting for the hunt sabs/League Against Cruel Sports to come out and confront these gangs they same way that they confront the fox hunts....but I think it'll be a long wait. Anyway, it's not a direct victim of arable farming, but it's worth telling the tale anyway.
