===Illegal coursing=== Hare coursing was banned in England and Wales by the [[Hunting Act 2004]]. However, as of 2015 it continues, illegally in counties with large areas of flat farmland suitable for hares: Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk, although criminals may travel large distances to course hares. Hare coursing gangs film the chase so that it can be played later, if and when betting occurs.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/hare-coursing-gangs-terrorising-farmers-with-illicit-underground-competitions-a6783411.html|title=Hare coursing gangs terrorising farmers with illicit underground competitions|date=22 December 2015|newspaper=The Independent|first=Tom|last=Bawden|access-date=31 August 2017|archive-date=4 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170804172904/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/hare-coursing-gangs-terrorising-farmers-with-illicit-underground-competitions-a6783411.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
