SIR – On several occasions while living in Wales I had a pack of hounds come across my land.

The huntsmen were still on the next road. The hounds could have killed as a pack, which is illegal.

On calling the police, I found that they seemed to have no idea about how the law worked. I think only a handful of huntsmen have been convicted because no one is enforcing the Hunting Act properly.
