PETER Adams' letter (Your Letters, September 24) shows just how little he knows of hunting or of the many people either directly involved with hunting or of those of us who support their right to hunt.
A small minority of upper middle class do not dominate it, as Peter Adams suggests. Many middle and working class either work with the hunt, follow it or just support it, as my family and I do.
I find it most disconcerting that a teacher working in a rural area for a number of years appears to have absolutely no concept of what actually goes on in the countryside.
Whether or not one agrees or disagrees with hunting, the choice of the individual is fundamental to our way of life. If this right is taken from people, civil disobedience will only increase.
MRS R WILLIAMS, Cradley.
