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.Sir: Like your correspondent Meredith Stranges, I spent last Saturday enjoying the English countryside at its finest.
There were birds singing, kestrels hovering, snowdrops and the first few primroses showing. I, too, was warmly greeted by those on horseback and on foot. However, unlike your correspondent, I enjoyed all this without requiring the pursuit and death of any animal.
The idea that the ban on hunting will interfere with enjoyment of the countryside is nonsense.
