I WAS amazed to read in the Evening Press about the pro-hunt vets (October 8). Surely, this is contrary to their ethics.

I understood they were in the caring profession of healing, along with doctors.

To hunt an animal to the point of exhaustion and then witness it being ripped apart is an abomination on God's creatures, not to mention possible injury to hounds and horses.
