Sadist was no worse than huntsmen

REGARDING your article ‘Fox was tortured and fed to Staffie’ (Burton Mail, August 9) A truly appalling story, but sadly no surprise, coming from an area where there is so much support for fox hunting.

Extreme cruelty to animals is learned behaviour and now we have David Cameron leading the pack to legalise it again.

As a lifelong Tory, I will never vote for them again.
