What do hares and hounds have in common? They both figure into a 19th-century schoolboy game that evolved into the sport of cross country—and also launched a popular drinking and running club as we know it today.

Unlike rabbits, hares have not been domesticated by humans and wouldn’t make for very good pets. They are rather timid and skittish and require plenty of room to run. Hares currently occupy every continent in the world outside of Antarctica. They originally evolved in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, but they were later introduced to South America and Australia. a b c d Holly, T. (2001). "Mad World of the European Hare".

Another great example of celebration of the hare is the Easter Bunny who represents the starting of spring, which is essentially a celebration of fertility, rebirth and reproduction.View all 104 animals that start with H Mountain hares are found in Scotland and the north of England, largely in upland areas. They are smaller than brown hares and have the ability to turn white in winter to blend with snow. When the snows dust the hills, the enigmatic mountain hare appears doubly appealing as it dons its white winter coat. The mountain hare and the stoat are the only British mammals to do so. It’s all in the name of camouflage of course – these hares have many predators, such as foxes and golden eagles – and yet they can be surprisingly easy to spot if you are in the right place.

Edwards, Rob (2 June 2019). "Licensed to kill: the landowners who shoot thousands of brown hares". The Ferret . Retrieved 3 June 2019. More and more people began to join the group, and in 1962, it began expanding worldwide. Today, there are thousands of Hash House Harriers (“the drinking club with a running problem”) chapters around the world. The game appeals to travelers because it’s a great way to get off the beaten path and explore a new area—and the promise of alcohol before, during, and after the run doesn’t hurt, either. Wherever it’s found, these animals prefer to inhabit open plains such as meadows, grasslands, deserts, tundra, and savannas. Although this sometimes exposes them to predators, their remarkable speed often allows them to get away even in relatively flatlands. If they need to hide, then hares will conceal themselves in the grass, shrubs, or hollows. Only a few species live in more forested regions. Diet

Traditional ploughland is disappearing. Seven cornfield flowers have become extinct in the last twenty years. Once abundant, the corn bunting and the lapwing are on the Red List. The corncrake is all but extinct in England. And the hare is running for its life. According to Jewish tradition, the hare is among mammals deemed not kosher, and therefore not eaten by observant Jews. Muslims deem coney meat (rabbit, pika, hyrax) to be halal, and in Egypt, hare and rabbit are popular meats for mulukhiyah ( jute leaf soup), especially in Cairo.

There are other difficulties; rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus has been recorded in hares, and more commonly, poaching haunts the species. Hare coursing is a terrible business on all levels. Apart from the cruelty to hares, it causes distress to rural communities and is often linked with wider rural crime. The hare – always listening, always watching – is sadly wise to maintain what one a Victorian writer called a “passion of fear”, but it is time to give something new to the hare: a land where it can relax, at least from overt fear of us.
