SIR - It is with concern that I feel obliged to write to your paper. The letter by League Against Cruel Sports (Gazette, December 24) just goes to show what we have to expect following the ban on hunting with hounds.

No sooner than the ink has dried on the Hunting Bill the league have put their full force and pressure into banning shooting. Fishermen beware - you will be next.

Anyone with an ounce of common sense would realise that this would happen. The talk of refusing the traditional Christmas turkey over claims of cruelty fills me with so much anger. These people are trying to dictate our lives and force-feed us this modern politically correct balderdash.

If you hunt, shoot, fish, enjoy racing, eat meat or even wear leather you must say no. This madness should be stopped now, before it gets too late.
