Letters about Todd Russell

It’s way out of line for people to harass Todd Russell about his love for hunting ("Baying for his blood", June7). It goes to show how vindictive these animal-liberationist types really are.

Good on you Todd Russell for sticking to your guns. May no amount of ignorant hate-mail make you forget that only the hunter can be in touch with his genetic heritage and take full responsibility for the origin of his food.

Congratulation for the article on Todd Russell and his passion for hunting "Baying for his blood" (Weekend, June 7).
It’s all too easy to muckrake on honest folk and to say that sporting shooters and hunters cop more than their fair share in most media outlets would be a gross understatement. Hunters do belong in the mainstream.
We are active participants in nature’s order, unlike the intentionally ignorant control freaks who want to ban everything due to a lack of trust and respect for themselves, their fellows and nature herself.

It is great to read au article about a person that lets you make your own judgment based on the information provided ("Baying for his blood", June 7).
It sounds to me like Todd Russell is a fairly grounded person with the right sort of values. Everyone deserves the chance to live their life as they see fit.
These two blokes, given what they went through, will appreciate it far more than most.
