Did this all start with the no blowing up cows thing? Austrian farmers were too tight to pay the army to airlift cow cadavers off high pastures, so they took to blowing them to pieces with dynamite instead. Logical really. Anyway, some local politician found some meaty cow chunks lying around and get the practice banned...
... or maybe that was another nutty Austrian story. At any rate, as a very occasional angler, I applaud the decision to stop all this angling from planes. It's hardly sporting.
