YOU reported (LT, April 2) how three yobs kicked a fox to death in a car park in Rhondda, South Wales.

This fox was a tame urban animal and met a violent death at the hands of drunken yobs who gave it no mercy.

The magistrates did not even jail these cowards, so once again it shows what an undemocratic system we have when a victim has fewer rights than a criminal.

To be blunt, these so- called people should have had the same treatment dished out to them, which would have been more than fair.

Also, a man has just died in hospital described as a gentle giant after being attacked on March 25 by three thugs.

It is now time to bring back hanging and proper punishment.

But as usual, the government do nothing but bury their heads in the sand.
