Bad argument

I WAS disgusted by the letter from John Tierney of the Association of Hunt Saboteurs headlined ‘Guns in the field can become guns in the kitchen’ (August 4). To take a tragedy like that in Co Wicklow recently and use it to promote a personal opinion on anunrelated topic is, in my view, despicable. Given the scale of the suicide crisis in Ireland, one would have to wonder why anyone would use such a tragedy as a personal point-scoring exercise.
