SIR. Judging by your recent feature, your publication seems to be almost promoting foxes in urban areas. This is irresponsible. They are an appalling nuisance and vermin. I propose urban fox-hunting teams to cull these animals.

Fox-hunting has a bad name. This is largely because of sentimental old Marxists who claim to be appalled by a few people in pink riding coats chasing a fox. This is the politics of hypocritical vanity.

Foxhunting could be just the cure for our inner city deprivation: kids would love the thrill and atavism of the hunt - and maybe stop slaughtering each other! Stop hugging trees and face reality!

Death to the fox!
