Cool photos, it's great to shoot somthing you really love!

I have a question. This lure coursing is when you take your dog out and let it chase what it thinks is a bunny, but then they never get to catch one? What would happen if you lived in an area where there were bunnies? Is it cruel to "tease" your dogs by letting them chase what it thinks is a rabbit but then they dont get to catch it?

I'm not trying to start anything, i'm ignorant of lure coursing and the purpose for doing such a thing to a dog.

I trained and raised cattle dogs, horses, and cattle, I still own horses, so I'm not animal rights fruit cake, just wondering about lure coursing. . .

Thanks,
