Re “Shock RSPCA figures on animal abuse in Dorset” The Echo 24 April 2015.

Should we be surprised, given that some local MPs are campaigning to bring back hunting, which is the killing and abuse of wild animals for pleasure?

It is truly a sad state of affairs that some people seek to get their entertainment in this fashion and politicians seek to justify such abhorrent behaviour.
