Letter: Don't panic
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.MARK ROWE's article on the invitation of hunters to shoot boar fails to highlight the real shortcoming in British environmental control ("Hunters go on wild boar safari in darkest Dorset", 5 September).
No matter how many high-profile concerned individuals we have, the Third World will be unwilling to instigate measures to preserve biodiversity while we take the parochial attitude that occasional accidents involving wild boar are not to be tolerated. The British people need to lose their paranoia over boar and other species. Otherwise all the pontificating by Jonathan Porritt, Charles Windsor, David Bellamy, the BBC wildlife programmes et al, will be considered so much hot air by other nations with more pressing economic crises.
