A OGILVY completely misses the point on fox hunting (Letters, October 4). Where most will agree foxes need to be culled at some point, it's the arrogant, pompus fools on horseback, with their silly grins, old sport, that the majority of people in this country are against.

That's just democracy.

If the daft fools want to dress that way, let them go to a fancy dress party. But kill the foxes in a humane way, not the bloodlust of an outdated tradition.

If they don't like it, they can leave these shores forever.
