People with a cruel and nasty streak

HARE coursing is a particularly disgusting so-called "sport".

The present pro-hunting MP for South East Cambridgeshire, James Paice, says that he dislikes "hare coursing intensely but would be reluctant to ban it because of my libertarian instincts".

By that logic, we would still have bear baiting and cock fighting.

Sir Mark Prescott, one of the leading lights in hare coursing along with Clarissa Dickson Wright, is said also to approve of bull fighting.

Well, anybody who has read about "the little white horse" in Sir Alfred Munnings's autobiography would never give his approbation to bull fighting, but perhaps Sir Mark hasn't

read Munnings.

These people have a cruel and nasty streak in them and I don't like it.

GEOFFREY WOOLLARD.
