It teaches nothing

It teaches a dog how to anticipate a rabbits moves and will also help coordination. It's not ideal no and very unsporting but if it helps to give the dog a bit of confidence then there's no harm. Remember the Rabbit is a pest.

as soon as it can walk, and if it can't keep with you on a steady 3  mile walk when its 10 weeks old get rid of it

This is my personal choice from when they are very young and just let to run free and watch and take everything in, not everyones cup of tea but suits me , not the steady walk part thou and getting rid of lol

2 guys with no sense. Both admitting breaking the law on an open forum. 

As for a sporting. If you catch, it either kill it ASAP or let it go for another day. You owe it that regardless of being a pest or whatever other thick headed excuse you see to justify it.

That's what I've always done. Out with the pup for a mooch with a busher, something will eventually happen and come right. I ain't judging the lad and if he's struggling to get any work then i can't see any harm in it on the odd occasion.
