WhilE supporting James Gray's campaign on the plight of live export horses it should be remembered that our MP is an enthusiastic supporter and participant in fox hunting, a cruel and barbaric pastime that has no place in a civilised society.

What a pity Mr Gray does not extend his concern for animals further instead of chasing an animal around the countryside with a pack of dogs until it is torn to pieces in the name of "sport".
