THANK you for publishing the letter from Douglas Bachelor, chief executive of the League against Cruel Sports (Citizen letters September 23).

It can only be to the good of humanity and to foxes when fox hunting ceases.

But this so-called sport must be ceased by all including Prince Charles and other nobility hunters.

There cannot be one law for some and not for others.

Can the League against Cruel Sports do anything to stop the hideously cruel sport of bear bating with dogs in Pakistan? We were horrified to see this on television news a week or two ago.

This unspeakable cruelty is taking place more frequently now than ever last year.

Can we do anything to stop it and put an end to the bears' terrible suffering?

Jane Ryding Smyth, Franklands, Longton.
