Good luck fella, know exactly how you feel, had mine stolen 2 months ago now, coursing dogs just seem irresistable to these wankers. Best of luck and don't give up, I'm not, every day that passes just means more bones will be broken when I find out
I expect that you can run them with dogs and even if you can't who cares the place is massive nobody would know, there 'fields' are thousands upon thousands of acres. So running them wouldn't be a problem. Finding a decent lurcher on the other hand might be!
I think, it will go the way of sports such as cock-fighting where they still go on on the quite but on the whole will just fade away and away every decade
The lurcher world is plagued by these scum, someone out there knows someone who steals, deals or cover up for these parasites. Isn't it about time someone did us all a favour and started to sort it out. Make an anonymous phone call. Give me a call about my stolen dog 07527834265
ANyone out running matches/competitions or just out and about please look at this
