STOP FISH CRUELTY

Every year millions of fish are caused pain and suffering at the hands of anglers all over the world. National Anti-Angling Week is the time when the fish receive a voice, as concerned people stand up to protest against this unnecessary and selfish cruelty. It is timed to coincide with the end of the closed season imposed on various angling activities.

Fish have the ability to feel pain just like any other vertebrate animal, including humans. We would not tolerate other animals to be caught and dragged by a hook in their mouth, so why should we permit it in fish.

Anglers are part of the problems afflicting our ecology. They are responsible for large amounts of environmental damage including denudation of riversides and the distrubance of habitats of the endangered otter and water vole. The RSPCA receives over 2,000 cases of animals being harmed or killed by fishing tackle every year. Nor are fishermen willing to help conserve stocks of fish at critical level, such as the salmon.

National Anti-Angling Week aims to highlight all of these through various methods. All over the country local animal rights groups will be taking action against this bloodsport, including:

Anti Angling Stalls and Leafleting

Demonstrations at Angling Shops

Angling Sabotage

Schools Talks and Media Interviews

Much has already been achieved against angling and its popularity is steadily falling. Less and less young people are taking up this bloodsport. A poll last year showed that 29% of the population now oppose it. The end of this bloodsport is now in sight.

And I'm sure that, that was a fair and balanced sample of people for that opinion poll.

ok now that is bullshit

When something is not factual they need to use lies and emotions to garner support.

Do they really think the mouth of a fish is as soft as their heads ? They crush up crab shells and munch on coral FFS - a thin sharp hook is nothing.

get a #%&*@$g life!

Hmmm... what next? Seriously, some people need to get a life and stop trying to tell everyone with a life how to live it!!!

Ok, so a thin sharp hook through the side of the mouth??? Hmm, ironic hey, considering that most people that whinge & protest about these trivial things have more peircings than skin! They seriously look like they went arse up in a tackle box!!!

And on a side note, I've got pretty tough feet, due to spending most my life barefoot, walking across bitumen on a 40 degree day doesn't bother me too much. But stepping on a rock covered in oysters hurts like buggery, and yet I've seen "cute little" fishies smashing the crap out of them to get a feed!

Cheers,

Matt
