SIR – Reading the letter from Jon Burgess was something of a nightmare trip down memory lane (January 22).

With his usual amorphous mass of non-information Mr Burgess claims the case against hunting is fragile. On what grounds? The vital ingredient truth to which he refers is clear and remains the same – hunting and killing with a pack dogs easily fulfils our accepted definition of cruelty. It’s why 75 per cent of people think foxhunting should remain an illegal activity.

The poll he refers to asked a simple question: “Do you think foxhunting should or should not be made legal again?” That Jon Burgess doesn’t like the answer is, as they say, tough, but it doesn’t change the result.
