The hypocrisy of Will Eleini (Letters, August 10) is absolutely breathtaking. The RSPCA, the largest charitable animal organisation in this country, seeks to protect animals from the cruelty bestowed upon them by man.

It is well known the levels of violence huntsmen and their supporters will go to to stop those who try to end the misery inflicted upon our wildlife by huntsmen. No wonder the RSPCA employees didn't rush out with water for their dogs.

Hundreds of hounds are killed each year while on hunts, straying on to railway lines and roads. Huntsmen care no more for their dogs than they do for the wildlife they abuse.
