LETTER: Shooting has no part to play in conservation

I had to write to express my disgust at the letter from Debbie Collins on behalf of the British Association for Shoooting and Conservation (September 30th).

What part of conservation is she talking about? I can’t believe a member of the so-called “gentle sex” could be in favour of the slaughter and maiming of birds and animals. Not only in favour but encouraging it, too.

What a hard-hearted creature she must be, never to consider what it must be like to be hunted and persecuted. I hope she gets some of her own medicine.
