In my 51 years on the surface of this spinning rock, I have never heard someone, Ann Rose, put someone else, Alan Nunn, so firmly in their place about fox-hunting ("Time to move on", Letters, October 25).
The following words of Oscar Wilde (1856-1900) - only 44 years on this spinning rock - perfectly encapsulate the view of someone who has outlived him by seven years:
"The English country gentleman galloping after a fox - the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable."
