SENATOR DAVID NORRIS
"The spectacle of fox hunting is most attractive, althoughnot for the fox.
"We must do something to root out the horrible practice of livehare coursing. There is simply no justification for it if we areconcerned about the welfare of small animals."I believe it is bad for the moral welfare of the people whowatch the 'sport'. No decent person should take pleasure fromthe hunting to death of a small, frightened animal. I agree withSenator Mooney about education - it is an important element inencouraging people to respect wildlife."
(16 November 2000)
"I heard a Member on the Government side attempt to defendthe obscenity of coursing, which is indefensible."
(Dog Breeding Establishments Bill 2009: Second Stage, 26January 2010)
