THE publicity surrounding MP Mike Foster (right) and the Hunting Bill is the very reason that no self- respecting member of the hunting community would have sent it.

The alleged threat was and is disgusting, is counter-productive for the very publicity it produced.

I hope that the police are successful in their investigations into this sorry state of affairs but would point out no such investigation has been started into the numerous death or bomb threats made to employees of the Countryside Alliance.

Those threats went where all rubbish should - in the bin.
