An open letter to Cheshire Hunt Saboteurs

20/11/2019

 
Yesterday I received an anonymous threatening letter from 'CHS'. If you want to read it click on the file below.

Unfortunately, being anonymous, I was left with no way of replying (there is mention of a Facebook page but I don't do Facebook). So, I thought I'd reply here. I've never written a letter to a covert organisation before so I thought I'd just picture them as a middle aged couple with a 10 year old ginger cat called 'Justin'. They share common interests such as walks in the country (wearing balaclavas), cuddling on the sofa watching 'The Great British Bake Off' (wearing balaclavas) and writing threatening letters to people in their local community (whilst wearing balaclavas). Here goes...

Dear CHS,
Thank you for your letter. Unfortunately you seem to be barking up the wrong tree. Lancroft Developments Ltd are not the developers of Leonard Brothers Veterinary Centre and, as far as I can ascertain from speaking to the builders, have nothing to do with it.
Additionally, although it is called "Leonard Brothers", I am not, and never have been, a director or owner of the business. I just work there. What I do at the practice, alongside a fantastic team of vets, nurses and receptionists, is try and make a difference to the health and welfare of thousands of pets. It is emotionally demanding work but we love it. Do you cry at work? It happens a lot at a vets. We have a very high incidence of mental health issues and a devastating amount of suicides in our profession. A high stress job with huge responsibility and long hours. We deal with some of the worst moments in people's lives, holding their hands and giving hugs as they say good bye to their best friends. With two precious young children at home I'm not getting a great deal of sleep at the moment and what I don't need is this kind...
Ah, I seem to be getting a little emotional. Let's just put this down to a misunderstanding. I hope to see you and Justin at the practice, he's getting on a little now and he really needs his blood pressure testing (all cats over the age of 8 should have it measured at least once a year).
Kind regards, Steve Leonard
