Letter: In Brief
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: Your report about the Advertising Standards Authority adjudications on our adverts (12 April) neglected to mention that it rejected six out of the nine complaints made by hunt supporters. The authority agreed with our assertion that foxes can die of pathological shock from the stress and trauma they undergo as part of the hunt. It agreed they could be simply ripped apart by the hounds before death, and could also suffer extensive abdominal wounding. It also agreed that vixens were hunted while pregnant.
