Celebrity chef faces hare-coursing charges
CELEBRITY chef Clarissa Dickson Wright and racehorse trainer Sir Mark Prescott are facing charges relating to alleged hare coursing.
The pair are facing a private prosecution by the International Fund for Animal Welfare. The 60-year-old Edinburgh-based chef and Sir Mark each face allegations of hunting hares with dogs at two events near Malton, North Yorkshire, in March.
They are each due to answer a summons at Scarborough Magistrates Court in North Yorkshire on November 9.
They also face charges of attending these events.
Hare coursing was outlawed at the same time as fox hunting with hounds.
