Proof how evil trophy hunters are

A SCOTS firm has sparked fury by selling sick reindeer shooting hunts as Christmas approaches.

Hendry, Ramsay & Waters is offering trips to slaughter the majestic beasts in Norway.

Explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes said: "If we needed proof of just how evil trophy hunters are, then this is surely it. We need a ban." The hunting firm is run by Vernon Waters in Fife. He refused to comment.

Animal rights campaigners have blasted the firm offering hunters the chance to kill reindeer.

With the festive season now in full swing, Hendry, Ramsay & Waters is advertising the sick "exclusive" holidays in Norway to shoot the beautiful animals.

The firm does not say how much a trip costs but it is believed to be thousands of pounds.

Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting member and explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes said: "If we needed proof of just how evil trophy hunters really are, then this is surely it.

"This is the most un-British thing I have ever heard of.

"These cowards are happy to ruin the spirit of Christmas for children everywhere. For a British company to be profiting from this disgrace is beyond appalling.

"We need a complete ban on this sick industry.

Animal welfare campaigner and Downton Abbey star Peter Egan added: "Trophy hunters are the lowest of the low but this really takes the biscuit. British trophy hunters are killing defenceless reindeer for kicks. I feel utterly sick to my stomach at the mere thought of it.

"Whatever happened to Christmas cheer and the season of goodwill?

"The best Christmas present the Government could give us is the ban on hunting trophies they've been promising for the last four years.
