Hunting is about social interaction

Sir – I fully agree with the comments made by John Burgess (Letters, January 18). Helen Smart does not have a clue what she is talking about.

The Hunting Act is only marginally about animal welfare. To her it’s about class war and the “short- sighted views” of the League Against Cruel Sports and in part the RSPCA. It is not about pink coats (never seen one of those) or big horses (we have two) – it is about rural social interaction, something your type of people obviously have no concept of.

'your type of people'? Now who's making it a class war?

Quote " Your type of people" does not signify class but a group of narrow minded, predjudiced people who are themselves involved in "Class warfare" in the way they try to belittle people.

I think the word not might give you the answer you are looking for.

I can read, and the word 'not' didn't escape me, but I still didn't understand the comment!

" it is about rural social interaction"

What a sad lonely little person. The only way you can interact is by killing animals?

You are no better than the thugs who feel they have to commit crime to be accepted by others.

Well said dave, he kindest thing that one can say about them is that they are "sick" and in serious need of some treatment. If I wished to kill wild animals, I would be asking myself if I was normal.
