Madam,

We as a family are horrified, shocked, disgusted and sickened to hear that a professional game hunter was hired to blast a young innocent, healthy, harmless, defenceless lynx to death! For what reason and at what cost? Whatever happened to tranquillising darts?

It seems very little thought or consideration by the county council or Andrew Venables was put into this heinous act of bloodthirsty slaughter!

Yours etc,

Julia Read and family, Llanbadarn Fawr, Aberystwyth.
