In Andrew Ffrench's report about super rats in Oxford (Oxford Mail, March 29), was it necessary to follow up the report with a grotesque photograph of a large, red-eyed rat on the front page and on page three?

We all know what a rat looks like without that sickening photograph.

I had to cover it with tape before I, or my family, could read the paper.

I guess I am not the only one to complain.
