I read Peter Presland's letter (Evening Advertiser, June 10), with interest.

I, too, am a huge admirer of Sir Winston Churchill, but no one can get it right all of the time.

Foxes are top predators and, as such, regulate their own breeding populations.

Can Mr Presland please explain why hunts construct artificial fox earths in their own territories and does he deny that this is done to encourage a ready supply of foxes for the coming hunting season?
