Hi Peter, What I hate in magazines is all the crap that goes on with sponser's. We have so called top anglers who write articles about tactics and how they caught the big fish, but in reality they are just plugging their sponsors gear. I caught this carp using Fox......, Korda....... etc , etc, etc; how many real-life anglers do you know who have a tackle box with nothing in it but one manufacturers gear. I would like to see articles from real-life anglers, free of sponsorship, who can write about their tactics and give advice without mentioning their sponsor every other word. WEB

PETA looking to Ban Fishing As PETA now turn their attentions to angling, I thought I would post for all to read an article that has recently appeared on a couple of forums in the South: Call for the Protection of Vegetables 'Vegetables' have feelings!! PETA and other such animal rights organisations promote the use of violence against Hunt Supporters and now, Anglers to put across their belief that angling is a cruel sport. Now is this not a contradiction of those belief's, using violence as a means to an end! Most of these organisations are vegetarian / vegan driven and motivated, they consider that no living animal should be harmed, killed for food or used in anyway for the production of material in the food chain or cosmetics. They sometimes don't see beyond the cute little faces of most animals and have little regard for what criminal acts they undertake in pursuit of their means. So I suppose it is OK for a cow to have a mechanical cup jammed on its udders twice a day for most of its life to provide milk, which must also hurt, is that seen by these organisations as cruel - hardly, or do they consider the feelings of other living entities....... What about the poor defenseless vegetable, I say!! How do these people know that the apple, orange, the humble sprout, or the carrot, doesn't have feelings. Their it is; minding its own business, sitting in a nice warm compost bed with lots of other little carrots, being fed on nutrients, fishmeal, dried Ox blood, cow sh*t and other chemicals to make it grow big and strong, and then one day this bloody great big hand comes down from above without warning, grabs it by the leafy stem (Hair) and yanks it from its home (Breaking it's roots) and family to satisfy a bunch of vegetarians or vegans. These poor vegetables are then stripped naked with a sharp blade, have their eyes cut out, they have their head shaven by those who eat them raw or they cut them into strips and drop them into boiling oil, or place them in a vessel over a flame steaming them until they scold to death. Some are placed in a metal container and boiled alive, whilst constantly having someone poke them with the point of a sharp knife. Its horrible, mans inhumanity to his fellow planet dweller!!!! Now once these carrots, other vegetables or fruits are plucked from their homes, you can't put them back its just not possible; you cant use super glue, sticking plaster or string, the damage has been done, irreversible and will often; if not already savagely eaten, lead to a horrible death from, wilting, mold, rotting from the inside out and finally decay, to which end they are cast onto a hemp at the bottom of the garden, where the outer clothing and skins of other vegetables lie, some still kicking and screaming with limbs missing.............. Some apples are treated even worse being taken in their thousands to a huge building and there crushed between massive steal rollers into a pulp; horrible I know but I must go on, and then if this was not enough they are squash between large wooden planks until their body fluids are drained from their remains and all that is left is a mash of body parts and skin, which in an act of finally humiliation are fed to Pigs. How can these people live with themselves if it wasn't cruel enough to eat some of these vegetables and fruits alive, they place the defenseless things and such alike in a cold cupboard called a fridge where temperatures are just above freezing without a coat or surf, and the next part is too shocking to tell but I have to, they sometimes place them in air tight plastic bags; suffocating them, and then put them in a freezer where the temperature is so low it makes their little bodies go all stiff and lifeless. Potato's are taken from their homes, subjected to a wash in cold water, have their hairs shaven, eyes cut out, pierced through their outer skin with a sharp point and placed on a baking tray. They are then offered a nice place to dry out, only to be put into a hot oven to die slowly. Some are so badly burnt their skin splits under the immense heat. These vegetarian and vegans let their children play a viscous game with potato's, called 'Mr. Potato Head', where children stick false lips, noses, ears, eyes, a hat and a moustache, all with spikes attached into the potato. How can it be fun to place a sharp point into the skin of a potato time and time again and even more cruel to throw it back into the vegetable rack only to do the same the next day, the day after and the day after that. I believe vegetables and fruits have feelings; if not someone prove me scientifically and in the eye's of GOD wrong (All living things); and they have a right to live without persecution from mindless individuals and groups of aggressive fanatics, too. Beware the Worm, it has been known to turn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It just goes to show that anyone can talk a load of old b*ll*cks. WEB
