Sir, In your February issue, a paper by E L Bradshaw and P Bateson claims that on 29 August 1995 a deer was attacked by hounds belonging to the Quantock Staghounds. It was not. The video footage shown on television, and upon which this claim is based, was stopped at the point the hounds were apparently on top of the deer. The tape went on to show hounds over running the deer without attacking it. I would be grateful if you would set the record straight on this.
