The Welsh Government is committed to tackling wildlife and rural crime in Wales, including hare coursing.
We continue to fund the Wales Wildlife & Rural Crime Coordinator post which acts as a conduit between the Welsh Government and the Welsh polices forces, regularly meeting with the Wales Rural lead and the UK Wildlife & Rural Crime lead and feeding back to my officials.
