MY letter suggesting that the Countryside Alliance march was purely in support of hunting with hounds has elicited the expected response from the likes of J Curtis and JP Hunter.

I will leave it to people to make their own judgement.

I am country born and bred and support green and environmental issues but I abhor cruelty to animals. Mr Curtis reveals his colours when describes how a fox kills hens.

My dad kept chickens for years but he had a novel way to beat the fox: it was called a fence.
