I remember hunting folk saying exactly the same thing about mounted packs 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,549 Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 I don't think banning fishing is anything they will even suggest....but death by a thousand cuts comes very quickly. Shooting won't be banned, but a stop on wildfowling and releasing pheasants will come quickly given the issues with bird flu. It will be brought in as a temporary measure....but after just one season, never mind two or three, how many keepers would remain? Look at any article in the news about a big fish capture and the letters are three quarters plus of comments saying how cruel it is. This might just be from a tiny number of armchair warriors but they soon get heard. Imagine a few photos showing fish floating after the weigh in at a big match....it only takes a few of those and suddenly schools are pressured into stopping fishing clubs etc. Charities stop accepting donations from fishing matches, companies stop offering sponsorship. Remember Nigel farage catching a tope.....the headlines said 'farage drags in rare shark species for fun' 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
