I AGREE with 'Live and let live' in Your Views on August 20, about cruelty in the British countryside.

Why and how the public continue to support our Royal Family's horrendous hobby of hunting defenceless wild animals I will never understand.

The meat industry is financed by the taxpayer. The Royals are financed by me -- taxpayer.

I'd love to withdraw from their scheme. By paying tax I am obligated to support this torture.

And as I am also saving the NHS more than £40,000 on hospital bills by following a vegetarian diet -- I'd love a refund.
