I HAVE just re-read Mr Michael T Parker's excellent letter (Journal letters, November 6) setting out the case against fox hunting which Mr Lewis Stephens Potter (Journal letters, November 13) describes as inaccurate and venomous. Inaccurate?
Every word of it was true! Venomous? It came across to me as rather light-hearted - perhaps too much so considering the seriousness of the subject. Also, is Mr Potter asking us to believe that all those born and bred in the country are in favour of needless cruelty?
Mr Potter asks us to be tolerant and accept each other's differences but here we are talking about inflicting terrible suffering in the name of entertainment. Surely there are some things that are not acceptable or we lose the right to call ourselves human.
