FEARFUL: I wish to question T Mullen's "Simple Choice" letter (May 1) using the result of the foxhunting poll in support against voting for David Cameron.

I have never seen a foxhunt of any description but feel that respect for the fox has been ignored in debate. The fox after all is this country's top predator, although it has to carry the burden of being classed as vermin.

I would ask T Mullen to think like the fox for what is in my view a simple choice.

Be poisoned at anytime without warning even when you may have a family to support or have a run for your life with prior warning in a controlled season.

I would suggest that T Mullen and those of like mind are fearful of the sight of a butcher's shop.
