WHAT I find most striking about Tim Pinney's response to Mike Huskisson's opinion that stag hunting is cruel (You Say, November 2) is his language "..nothing other than a dead animal!"

If he were to come across someone passed away on the pavement in Peopleton, would he make a similar clumsy observation that this is nothing other than a dead person on the ground?
