Sir, - I would like to comment upon the recent report in your newspaper regarding the call, to its supporters, by animal rights activists to boycott Kerrygold products because of their sponsorship of the Inter-hunt Chase at the Dublin Horse Show.
With due respect, this is utter nonsense and stupidity. Animal rights activists and their cohorts are not consumers of dairy or meat products - they are committed vegans and vegetarians. Their so-called boycott is meaningless and hollow.
This is but another deceitful cheap publicity stunt on behalf of these minority animal rights groups. - Yours, etc.,
James E. Norton, Irish Masters of Foxhounds Association, Athboy, Co Meath.
