Dear Sir,

Two headlines appear, one right under the other, in the opinion section of your online edition today: “An idea to help revive tourism” and “Feral cat explosion”. Brilliant idea! Replace the proposed sport (if you can call it that) of gambling with that of hunting! We could advertise our feral beast as Bermuda’s black-and-white fox, and the wealthy nobs thwarted by recent fox hunting bans in Britain would come in packs, fill the flights (current and proposed), rent horses and hounds (with pit bull lineage) instead of scooters, and generate not only a healthier tourist industry but a healthier tourist (than the present American behemoth who can barely lumber from the ship to Dockyard’s mega pharmacy for his essential drugs).

Let the cry go up: Tantivy! Tantivy!

ANON
