Hare Coursing

Yesterday, for the second time in a year (that I know of anyhow), we had our club strip invaded by hare coursers - that is people whose idea of a fun Saturday afternoon is tramping across fields chasing down hares with dogs (whippets I think, but I'm no expert on that particular subject).

The first time I ordered them off which, since they were trespassing I had every right to do. The second time I was airborne and did a couple of loud and sarcastic go-arounds which seemed to get the message across - but it's all rather unsatisfactory.

So, aside from any views that I (or the hare !) may have over the morality of the activity, does anybody know if this activity is actually legal? Basically if it isn't, I'd love to know chapter and verse so that I can call the Police and ideally get these idiots stopped before we get low-flying dogstrike and possibly somebody killed.
