OUR late Princess Diana abhorred fox and stag hunting and shooting birds for sport.

She made it clear long ago that she loathed to see her sons, William and Harry, being encouraged to participate in these blood-sports.

More than anyone, she knew the distress of being hounded and of trying to escape to a safe haven.

I am sure she would have wished for a ban to stop the indiscriminate killing of wild creatures.

SHEILA BRENNAN (Mrs), Bombay Street, Blackburn.
