London - The luxury Scottish hotel owned by Andy Murray has removed references to hunting from its website after pressure from animal rights campaigners.
The Wimbledon champion bought Cromlix, near his home town of Dunblane, last year.
Campaign group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wrote to him complaining that the hotel promoted hunting as a possible activity for guests.
Its letter said: “The idea of hunting cats and dogs ... would rightly make most of us sick, and yet the animals listed on the website, alongside the best times of year to kill them, have exactly the same capacity to feel pain and suffer.”
A spokesman for Murray said references to hunting were removed from the website this month and the activity was never offered on the hotel’s grounds.
Peta praised Murray last year when it emerged the hotel menu would not include foie gras.
