Sir, – Regarding the letter of Conor Brady (January 4th), genuine sport is where competing players attempt to overcome each other, having started on an equal basis. There are also rules and regulations intended to enhance the initial equality between the parties. Perhaps if the animals and birds who are hunted were armed, you could call hunting and shooting a sport. These hunted creatures have no knowledge of what is occurring, other than an intense instinctive fear. They will not be writing letters to the papers afterwards. – Yours, etc,
