CAN I be the only reader of the Evening News who has noticed how extreme the language of the anti-hunting correspondences has now become.

Their terminology is aggressive and deliberately denigrates anyone associated with hunting or country sports.

Recent correspondence had used words such as "lunatics" "odious" and "perverted" to describe anyone involved with hunting.

De-humanising people and creating the impression they are a minority to be despised is a tactic of extremism and the servant of fascism.
