THE letter from M E Hammond regarding the Countryside Alliance and its insistence on including support for hunting in its March Charter raises some interesting points.

I wonder how many people, including myself and Mr Hammond, felt unable to support the Alliance March for just this reason.

I also wonder how many who did march subscribed with reluctance to the pro-hunting requirement.

I like other people, I try to do our bit to support the countryside by making an effort to buy from farm shops and other rural businesses, rather than shopping at supermarkets all the time.

Does the attitude of the Countryside Alliance mean that our money is no longer welcome because of our anti-hunting stance?
