Letter: Supporters rally to defend a well-loved scavenger
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.IT AMAZES me that Ross Clark should spout forth such utter misinformed rubbish ("Stop your bleating", 18 October). Would you pay someone from the British National Front to write an article using such "illogical" thought and prejudice as to why anyone non-white should "go back where they came from". No, most probably not. So why print this insulting drivel? I am a sheep farmer and would be delighted if Mr Clark would visit and have an education in agriculture - perhaps he could then write with some authority.
Surely you should provide more factual pieces, explaining perhaps why BSE has never really been a problem of "beef farming" but rather a "dairy cow" problem.
One thing that can be agreed on is that farming is in a mess and will remain so while politicians have the reins.
