Letter: Hunting is no crime
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Hunting people might themselves have taken a little of the heat off their so-called "sport" if they had started the Countryside Alliance when intensive farming first made the land hideous with the building of huge sheds in which animals were incarcerated in appalling conditions and animal husbandry became mechanised until the animals themselves are now little more than mere cogs in a vast food-producing machine. Yet the hunting fraternity said nothing about "traditional country values" until their own pleasures were threatened.
