I was asking you?
No one else has bothered to respond ?
Is that cause they don't know the answers..? Strange if they've signed it really. Don't you think?

Everyone has a choice, everyone has an opinion, no one is forcing anyone to sign it, what's more worrying is that you are insinuating people's intelligence on this issue.

Iam not insulting anyone...I'm merely asking questions that aren't being answered...its an open forum andmi posed some simple questions...ive also stated that I have no issue with any petition if they are correctly out and out angling in a good light...the fact it's not being answered speaks volumes

I haven't got all the answers, and I never said I did, I didn't even start the thread, all I'm doing is showing my support for it. The only thing I have basically said is that it's not pointless and that you wouldn't like it.
Like I said before you know where it originated from, I'm sure there are people there that'll give you the answers you require, or at least you will understand why it was started

Take it back a notch...
What did you understand regarding the petition? Do you know what you have signed...have you got the details required or did you just sign it regardless?
Fair questions?

I have been an angler for 50 years mate.
I have seen otter damage in Norfolk in the late 80's and seen carp torn to bits on the bank first hand.
Anglers WON'T make it change and I guess you actually know that, they would not join the Angling trust our only organisation that had years ago a chance to raise the issue with any real force.
As said before, don't keep having a go at some of us who are just being realistic.

I'm with Frenzy on this. I will sign the petition,but only due to my rage over the otter situation. I would sign anything if I thought that it might help in any remote way. It is not, however, well worded and is utterly meaningless. There is no way to control numbers by non lethal methods. Lethal methods or at least a massive clampdown on the illegal releasing would be a positive first step.

Much the same here, not the 50years bit ..I jest...
Ive had my own lake smashed by otters, so don't think I dnt know how it feels...
Your right...anglers won't achieve anything on their own...hence why poorly written petitojn don't help...do them by all means, fully support a good one...but come on...non lethal control with no explanation and ifread by government..IF they get 10,000 signatures .😂😂😂😂😂
It,will be chucked in the bin and laughed at

I know exactly what I am signing, I'm signing a petition written by a group of people who feel passionately about the sport, they are not lawyers, nor do they get paid, like most Ive read the petition, but I also engage in discussions on their facebook page, where I have understood where it has come from.
The way I see it is that the anglers ask the powers that be the questions, it's up to them to decide how to act if it ever comes to fruition
