IAM writing in reply to A Culverhouse's criticism of my letter (Letters, November 3). He appears to think butterflies are a deserving cause but they could be helped by cessation of spraying with toxic chemicals.
More deserving causes are cancer relief and research, RNIB, spastics, pioneering neurological research into muscular dystrophy, Parkinsons disease, Alzheimers disease and many more causes I could name.
The welfare of mankind comes before the welfare of butterflies. Any rationally thinking person would agree that donating money to these causes is more appropriate.
