I was outraged at your article regarding the hunting protest and Stephen Mockford appearing to be some sort of hero.

He said he had hunting in his soul. I think that shows us he is not a peaceful man but a cruel one.

The laws are made to protect us and the vulnerable in society (which animals are a part of).

People should not be allowed to create such anarchy and act like spoilt children because they can't get their own way.

It was not a peaceful protest. The hatred etched on their faces was frightening and the police controlled the situation well. It must have been terrifying for them.

The heroes are the brave politicians who are standing up for what is right and what the humane among us believe in.
