yes there are lots of scary things on the web and host of different nutty people living out fantastic fantasies, including a small lunatic fringe who would like to take the fight to fishermen. We will never stop that...we can however insure they remain a small lunatic fringe.
Years and years of stirling work by angling bodies concentrating on environmental issues and habitat restoration has slowly changed our image from louts who kill ducks with discarded line and split shot. To the guardians of the water ways.
The more we work with environmental groups and show none fishermen what we are about, the more you cut off the possible recruits to the Antis. Because quite simply without that mainstream support they wont get anywhere need forcing any type of legislation against us.
These people(Animals count) that care for animals, want to see better protection for farmed and domestic animals, and make sure the law on hare coursing is enforced.
Whats wrong with caring? 'Paramilitry' , 'dangerous loonies?'For reasons I won't go into on a public forum, I can assure all reading this, they have the structures to be well organised when they want to be and do use them on a regular basis.'
You are in fantasy land pal.Your waging war on an Enemy that barely exists, and thank goodness your rantings dont get out in the general public, or you would be driving people into the anti camp, as efficiently as the AT has with its anti Otters-rant.
Admit it your just itching for a good fight with some crusties, and cant exist without feeling there's a whole conspiracy of net works out there determined to put an end to your hobby.
You want to keep the Antis in the lunatic fringe? Go and take your angling club to do some good environmental work and make sure the public knows your doing it.
Your type are determined to take Angling to Hell in a Hand cart, so you can stand smuggly at the gates saying.'I told you so'.
