Letters to Editor:- Christmas Lights...

"It appears that your correspondent JLT has an axe to grind.

I wonder whether he has more of an interest in the Christmas Lights than just one of a resident of Southport?

That could certainly colour his judgment.

I am very pleased that we now have better Christmas Lights than we have for years. It was in 1998 that I started a campaign for Christmas Lights,.

Yours sincerely.

LETTERS TO EDITOR:- MAJORITY STILL OPPOSES FOXHUNTING, SAY ANTI-HUNTING GROUPS 

"AS fox hunts gear up for their traditional Boxing Day meets, anti-hunting campaigners are reminding the government that the majority of people in Britain want to see an end to the cruelty of hunting with dogs. 

A MORI poll conducted in November 2003 shows that 76% of the British public wants hunting with dogs to be made illegal . Only a tiny minority will 'get their kicks' on Boxing Day from needlessly chasing and killing a wild animal.

Hunting has always been a minority pursuit, and support for the activity is falling sharply. Since 1965 the number of hunts in England and Wales has fallen from 353 to 307, while the number of drag hunts, which don't chase live quarry but instead follow an artificial scent, has tripled.

According to the Countryside Alliance's own website , there are no more than 27,000 subscribers and hunt supporters out of a rural population of some 11 million. By way of contrast, nearly ten times as many people (2.25 million) are officially registered with the FA to play football . On Boxing Day alone, 640,000 people are expected to attend professional football matches in England, with millions more tuning in to televised matches.

The government must now make it clear when it intends to reintroduce the Hunting Bill, paving the way for an end to this cruelty once and for all in 2004."
Phyllis Campbell-McRae, UK Director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and Chair of Campaigning to Protect Hunt Animals (CPHA)
