I PRESUME those cowardly faceless graffitists who have scrawled their promotion of hunting on the bridges spanning the A64 are the same mindless group who dress up in odd garb to chase and frighten the living daylights out of rural foxes.

The unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable may be able to convince me of the nuisance of foxes, but not of their right to relish and enjoy the cruelty they promote.

In the absence of civilised debate I am unlikely to be swayed by scruffy roadside daubs (which deface the countryside they claim to protect) in order to promote their mindless sadistic "sport".
