Letter: Puritans in pursuit of fox-hunters

Sir: When will those in opposition, and the media, stop comparing hunting with hounds to bear-baiting, cock-fighting, and dog-fighting.

These so-called "sports", in which the hapless victim had no possibility of escape, were nothing more than the animal equivalent of boxing: an equally unattractive "sport" which must eventually be banned by a caring, socialist state.
