MIKE Huskisson ("The cruelty of staghunting", You Say, Tuesday, October 26) is short on facts and large on propaganda.

I wonder why he chose to picture a few hounds around the body of a stag? Did he really expect people to fall for his guise that these hounds had actually killed it?

In fact, the photo shows nothing other than a dead animal being sniffed by a few hounds!

He then goes on to distort the words of Lord Burns who led the Government's independent inquiry into hunting with dogs.

What he also fails to mention is that Lord Burns stated recently that there is no just cause for the banning of hunting in this country.
