ANGLERS DO MORE FOR FISH THAN RSPCA
The CA has renewed criticism of the RSPCA's priorities following reports that they intend to investigate anglers and fish farmers for 'cruelty' to fish. The RSPCA and SSPCA have suggested that controversial research published last year by the Roslin Institute showed that fish can feel pain and the SSPCA has said: "We believe that fish do have the capacity to suffer and the thinking of government, the fishing industry and sports fishermen should take this into account". Countering this, Charles Jardine, Director of the CA Campaign for Angling, claims that Britain's 3.5 million anglers know that their sport is entirely legitimate and that it has massive benefits for river and still water habitats - and that anglers certainly do far more for fish than the RSPCA ever has. -------------------- Gabriel Finance Ltd.

From what I see on TV, the RSPCA has ALWAYS been anti. Every time they find an injured bird on the waters it is ALWAYS the anglers fault, and they take great pains to say this when the camera is pointed at them!

I have heard that the RSPCA kill many perfectly healthy animals they can't be bothered to look after and re-house. From personal experience I find their attitude condescending, abrupt and unhelpful. I accept there are some good officers, but the overall impression they give is very poor.
This is my personal opinion only . |
