To show why the Daily Telegraph is so supportive of bloodsports consider the following that was printed in the Daily Mail in 1997:-
"Daily Telegraph editor Charles Moore, 40, will have winced on opening his sister paper, the Sunday Telegraph, this weekend. His friend Adam Nicolson, 39, stirs bad memories with an article about fox-hunting, whose headline speaks of a ‘howling pack of natural born killers’. Mr Nicolson once wrote, also in the Sunday Telegraph, about spending a day stag-hunting. After the kill, his host, ‘wailing and screaming.........like a banshee’ had scooped up a ‘soup-bowl of blood’ in his hands and smeared it into Mr Nicolson’s hair with ‘a manic delight’. Mr Nicolson, horrified, concluded that this ‘chaotic, ugly primitivism could only be the sign of something degenerate’, Suave Old Etonian Mr Moore was mortified when it emerged that he was the unnamed banshee."
