I AM writing to express my disgust at the story of the Tynedale Hunt’s charity calendar for the Great North Air Ambulance (Echo, Nov 2).
I am not disgusted by the naked images, but by the hunt’s bloody past. I am a supporter of the Great North Air Ambulance (GNAA), since the company I work for has supported the ambulance greatly in recent years, but seeing this kind of support makes me sick to my stomach.
This just seems to be an attention-seeking move by the desperate hunt and its supporters to garner sympathy for a cruel bloodsport.
Sorry, Tynedale Hunt, if I want to support the GNAA I will donate money off my own back rather than buying your tacky and tasteless calendar.
It just reminds us all of why we banned fox hunting in the first place.
Michael Blighe, Ferryhill.
