Sir, - Midlands Report (The Irish Times, April 9th) includes a large photograph of Rachel Woollett and her mule "Bobby", which she intends to run some 300 miles while she sits on a cart - all in the name of "charity".
It makes my blood boil to think of that poor animal being forced to run 20-25 miles per day so that this woman can set a record in her mule-drawn carriage. In my opinion, the event is glorified animal abuse and should not be supported. - Yours, etc.,
