Gun Sports: Hares
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government how many hares they estimate are shot each year.
- Answer
-
Defra holds no official statistics on the number of hares shot in England each year and therefore makes no official estimate. We are however aware of a number of estimates made by stakeholder groups which range markedly from the low tens of thousands to the low hundreds of thousands.
