I REFER to a letter (LT, April 21), where the Conservatives’ election manifesto wants a free vote in Parliament with a view to bringing back fox-hunting, hare-coursing etc.
Badger baiting with dogs is also another blood sport for some people who seem to delight in the killing of defenceless animals. Also, they have no regard for people who may get in their way.
An alternative pastime for these type of characters could be drag-hunting or paintball games, to name two examples.
Another idea would be to send them to Afghanistan to help our troops fight terrorists who would bite back – or would cowardice take over and desertion take place to save their own skins?
