The cruel price of culturalism
I SHARE Mrs Bookbinder’s concerns over reports of cruelty to pigs (Yorkshire Post, August 1), but is she aware of the far greater atrocities inflicted daily on sheep, goats and cattle during ritual slaughter for Islamic halal meat?

Moving summer
From: Andrew Mercer, Guiseley.
WHAT constitutes “summer”? According to road signs along the A65, this is when Leeds Council should complete improvements to the Kirkstall Road.
Yet, with little progress in recent weeks, I can only assume that they were, in fact, referring to any “Indian summer” that may or may not occur in the autumn.
Question of crops
From: Keith Berridge, Park Road, Cross Hills, Keighley.
I REFER to your photograph (Yorkshire Post August 6). The narrative below the photo suggests that the farmer on his tractor is harvesting grain, but I can only see what I think is a high density baling machine often used for harvesting hay or silage.

From: James Woodhead, Yeadon, Leeds.
The home towns or cities of most of Yorkshire’s medal winning athletes appear to be organising some form of celebration for their prize-winning efforts.
Could not a countywide event be organised to which all of the medal winners are invited? .
