Letter: Deer hunters

Sir: We are now seeing the ugly face of hunting. This is not control, this is not conservation, this is not about job preservation. This is cold, callous and orchestrated.

The Quantock Staghounds have not lessened their hunting activities. They still hunt twice a week. Hunting countries have been loaned by the other West Country deerhunts. In fact they now have a larger area over which to hunt.
