Right then: For a start, they're greyhounds; practically useless for live coursing, in any case, as they've no stamina and turn like oil tankers, as you can see.
The scene is actually a disgrace from start to finish as people are essentially "open" coursing in an enclosed field. Not cricket at all as the whole point is that the prey must always have home advantage, to straighten the odds. They probably brought that poor, wee mite with them, so it's more like baiting than coursing.
And anyway, that's a rabbit, not a hare. Fairplay to him.
