FROM their recent letters Douglas Batchelor (League Against Cruel Sports) and Peter Bunce (Protect Our Wild Animals) are obviously in complete denial regarding the reality of anti-hunt monitors or saboteurs.
Mr Batchelor chose not to take responsibility for the LACS hunt monitor who caused suffering to a fox while filming the Plas Machynllech hunt.
He also refuses to accept this particular hunt was independently investigated and found to be operating within the law and strict rules of hunting.
If we believe Mr Batchelor the anti-hunt movement is totally peaceful.
If that is true could he explain a recent case in which an anti-hunt protester was convicted and jailed after violently assaulting a 65-year-old hunt follower.
Mr Bunce claims hunts refuse access for POWA monitors.
As a hunt only operates as guest of the landowners, I suggest POWA follow the same procedure and seek permission to film from the landowner.
