D. Wicks says a far greater number of fish and birds are killed or maimed by angling and shooting than foxes are by hunting (Opinion, June 21).
Why then, do we hear the hunting fraternity constantly promoting hunting with hounds as the only means of keeping the fox population down?
Mr Allen, the 411 Labour MPs and "the masses" D. Wicks refers to, confirm the attitude of the general public against fox hunting.
