I refer to the article Hunters Pull Out Of Ornis (August 12).

The hunters are making such an exaggerated fuss, as though they and their families are suffering and passing through some kind of trauma just because of the new laws on hunting.

Nobody is telling hunters to stay indoors. The countryside is still there for them to take a lovely stroll. Do they have to kill birds to enjoy it?
