Picked this up on another fishy forum, seems like a good idea to spread it around.
This is taken from the Green Party website, Policy "AR412 The Green Party is opposed to angling as a bloodsport. We will ban livebaiting which is inherently cruel. The Green Party will ban the use of all lead shot / weights used by anglers which are harmful to many other forms of wildlife. The Party will promote the voluntary cessation of angling through public education programmes." AR 412 Send any comments to :- office@greenparty.org.uk -------------------- On average, people have fewer than two feet.

Seems they need some education themselves, certainly on the lead shot issue ...

I think most of "Joe Public" think that we still use lead. Last summer I had a row with an RSPCA officer after we picked up a swan at the lake that I windsurf on. He said it had lead poisioning from the anglers shot he wouldn't have it that lead was banned years ago.

QUOTE Braderz: Mid 80's I think, for most sizes of shot up to a certain weight. Still legal in France though. A couple of years ago a famous English angler was fined for using shot bought in France, not knowing it was made from lead.yeah, wasn't lead stopped ages ago in coarse fishing anyway???

I think you will find that size eight shot and below is made of lead, go and check on you packet and you will see it says lead shot, I was surprised when this was pointed out to me on this forum before.

Personally I agree to the banning of all lead in shot.

The Green Party when they got in to power in Germany banned the returning of fish!it was still ok to catch them but they had to be killed.a great shame as more and more German anglers had started to copy the English anglers thay saw by using keepnets and returning their catchs,where traditionally they had killed all.
