These folk not above the law
Regarding David Hankey's letter (Mailbox, February 18), I have witnessed a fox being killed by hounds and it is not a pretty sight.
The exhausted animal is literally torn to shreds.
Younger members of the hunt are then "bloodied" by having blood from the dead fox smeared on to their faces, a sick initiation into this so-called sport. And while this is happening, adult members of the hunt in their fancy dress laugh and joke about their successful killing. "Tally-Ho".
These people are absolute morons – they are not, however, above the law.

“Isn't it amazing how many people are coming out of the woodwork stating they have seen a fox killed by dogs. I'm sure not that many foxes have been killed by the hunts. Anyone would think the countryside is littered with foxes being devoured by hounds, what rubbish!!
No-one, as far as I am aware, has suggested these folk are above the law!!
To stoop to name calling portrays and infantile approach and does your argument no good whatsoever.”
