A CURTIS in his letter in Thursday's Evening Advertiser takes me to task for not complaining about the barbarity of ritual killing.
Let me assure him that I have. I have written to both my MP and the Government Minister Bev Bradshaw.
The fact that I have not had a letter about the subject printed in the Advertiser is not within my control.
The Government is taking the weasel way out for both hunting with hounds and ritual slaughter, that is they are doing nothing about it.
Mr Curtis should be very pleased that the Government has bottled out and that his hunting friends can carry on with their perversions.
I view both hunting and ritual slaughter as equally disgusting but why stop at ritual slaughter? Normal slaughter is no more humane.
If people dragged themselves into the 21st century and gave up eating meat and killing animals for fun there would be no need for this argument.
