Hares have an international symbology representing life, endeavour, and the search for knowledge. Gothic tradition sees the Hare as a joker, mischievous and ckever, whilst Nordic myth sees the Snowshoe Hare as the messenger of the Owl and carrier of wisdom. English folklore has the as quick witted and a boxer, cleverly sparring with other Hares for dominance.
The symbology of the Hare best catches the spirit of the Union and debate.
