THE inane comments of J Curtis never fail to amaze me.
In Tuesday's Adver he displays his complete lack of knowledge of hunting with hounds and the compassion of people who put their lives at risk by attempting to thwart the hunt.
Hunt saboteurs are by nature compassionate, caring people. This certainly applies to Steve, who J Curtis tries to demonise. J Curtis shows his complete lack of knowledge of what goes on at a hunt. The saboteurs do not rescue foxes and take them away, what they do is to distract the hounds, by blowing horns, so the fox can escape from them.
As for wearing balaclavas and toting baseball bats, this is the modis operandi of the hunt supporters. Each saboteur is outnumbered at least 3 to 1 by police so it would be very difficult for the saboteurs to dress as J Curtis suggests.
When the hunting ban comes into force it will be interesting to see if the police put as much effort into enforcing the ban.
