J WOOD and H Ray pontificate about the "rights" of human beings to carry on with their cruelty to foxes, who, as A Knittel points out, are not classed as pests.
What about the rights of our wildlife who cannot speak for themselves? No doubt, bear-baiters, badger-baiters and the exponents of cock fighting were just as vehement and blinkered about their "rights" to satisfy their lust for fun at seeing and hearing distressed and persecuted animals killed in a disgusting and dreadful way.
The majority of people want cruelty to all animals stopped and the Government should have the courage to get on with it and institute a ban on hunting with dogs and let the hunting fraternity scream, instead of the animals they are persecuting.
MRS MARION J LARGE,
Worcester.
