IT is understandable why Richard Caring, owner of Pixton Stables, became so angry and distressed over the killing of a prize stag on his land, Tycoon stumps up reward, Gazette, September 22.

I wonder if he has equal concerns when wild stags are killed? Is he bothered if the local fox hunt, presumably given permission by him to hunt on his land, 'accidentally' kills foxes? Or is he only concerned when the pretty animals he corrals are slaughtered?
