Can we add poultry to the list of products to boycott as the effluence from the 100no + farms around the river Wye catchment has been devastating the Wye for years its in a sorry state the increase in algae is killing most of the flora and fauna all the rununculus has gone the bottom is covered in an oxygen sapping brown sludge.

Agree, morals seem to only be instilled into the working man. The legal route is as corrupt as the developers and councils that support them, hardly surprising when our council tax money is invested in the development companies.

Used to be a regular visitor to the wye fifteen years ago and have been back a couple of years ago and it's decline is obvious, never knew what the cause was and had assumed otters were responsible for the decline in barbel as it was a prolific place for barbel and chub.

Its always the Billion dollar/pound industries that seem to just get away with it when the causes of pollution are found and taken to court then a poultry fine in comparison to the devastation caused is then levied on the companies.

Such a shame but unfortunately this is a countrywide issue and unless there are many who use, see, visit these rivers, canals then the majority don't know or hear about it.
Writing open letters to the companies, online or in local newspapers [ if they exist ] lobbying local / national MP's is a start as is contact with the EA.
I know many say what's the point but it's a start and will be logged.

There always has to be a starting point..from that point anything is possible..
These issues need to be put out there ,there are lots of subtle ways to do that ..I'm starting with my local schools,you see ,kids today are force fed environmental issues..
This is a local issue,as well,plus many parents will work up that plant..
Those who suggest a waste of time,I get you ,but I won't go quietly into the night...I didn't with another issue,until I got everyone talking about it,and things were done..countrywide..!
Start making noises,talk to everybody that will listen ,don't shut up ,drop it into every conversation you can..its a starting point if you really love your environment and the ecosystems..
Do your research,find out as much as you can...then keep talking ,writing,...etc it's not hard to make people aware..
No multi corporation wants bad publicity
Saputo has links to de forestation in South America, but their environmental lies suggest other..
All depends how much you care..

Have you written to your local MP? Thats where I would begin, and pursue it from there. The bigger they are the harder you need to hit.

No,sorry ...you've misunderstood..from little acorns does big trees grow..!!
There has to to be a starting point,it's not about how many carp anglers stopping buying Utterly butterly or whatever,it's the big picture..
It is about communication, getting the issue out there,making people aware of so called small.issues,taking it on board and acting upon it.
Today I have been busy ,. would you be interested in helping ,rather than not ?,you have a voice,like I do,like lots of others ...pollution is wrong ,it destroys the environment for future and present generations..
I don't want to live my life ,a total lie..at least I'm going to try..
And believe me ,I know from personal experience, just one person can make a difference...do some research ,and come and help your fellow anglers and countrymen.

Just a simple question from me.
How have they polluted said river?
Don't know the area (although have been to Tintagel) but looking on google maps the river doesn't run past the factory, is that correct?
Are you saying there is a pipe or something that discharges into the river?
They have done this 21 times?

Yes to all your questions,it's a automated system now ,pipes etc,
The factory is above the lower ,rills and starting points,of the river..an outfall..
The pollution is toxic sludge,evident on the bed of the river,waste produce from the factory itself..
Cam,just Google river Inny pollution.,saputo dairycrest ,lots of info.plus them admitting it as well,now it seems its happened again..

Bit of a joke is only using the forum to put people down and not offer helpful advice.
I for one am grateful for Wandle bringing it to my attention, as where possible, I like to be informed and shop with a conscience. it might not effect a multi million pound company but its legitimate information, and some of us, where we can, like to practice collective social responsibility. especially when it comes to our ecosystems. enough cannot be done.
Keep posting Wandle
