There have been issues of a domestic kind taking place in the field at the back of my house recently. Fed up to the buck teeth at being chased around by her male counterpart, a female hare has been indulging in her own bit of domestic violence. Yes, hares really do go in for boxing; we’ve been witnessing it with our own eyes. Trouble is the fellow doesn’t seem to have taken the hint; he’s besotted and obviously doesn’t understand that no means no, because he continues to harass her. I guess one of them will have to tire eventually, there’s clearly no scope for the non-molestation order and power of arrest that harassed humans can rely on.
