Henry Fenech Azzopardi accused me of making a mountain out of a molehill (The Sunday Times, August 21). I was merely astonished that some hunters such as Mr Fenech Azzopardi did not know what they were killing.

They did not even know that birds are animals.

Now that this fact has been firmly established, I trust we all agree that shooting birds is tantamount to cruelty to animals and should be banned.

No mountain or molehill. Just pure philosophical deduction.
