Stewart Sykes of Blue Moon Trading, leaves me flabbergasted (Letters, December 20).

If he were to catch the evil person who shot those two cats, would he use a weapon from his shop's arsenal? By selling such harmful weapons as airguns, knives, cross bows, etc, does he not think the air gun used to harm those poor cats, could have been bought from his shop?
