Many people on social media rejected Maugham's claim that he was left with no other option but to kill the animal. Labour MP Neil Coyle jumped in and said that what Maugham did was illegal as clubbing is the only way to kill the animal. Neil said that several other constituents have been in a similar situation but never broke the law. Not only Neil, but Maugham also faced a backlash from many people online as they have been calling out the lawyer, saying it's not right to do even if it's legal.
