Hunting is cruel

I SUGGEST Jeaves of Meopham does more research into the cruelty of fox-hunting.

He/she conveniently forgets to mention the fox is relentlessly pursued for many miles until it is exhausted, only to meet a barbaric end.

Over the years I have kept cuttings and cannot believe the cruelty which goes on while training the hounds.

One depicts a live fox being hurled through the air to the baying hounds. How can anyone call this sport? It's sick.

A total ban is well overdue. What has religious slaughter got to do with hunting? This too is unacceptable and cruel and must be stopped.
