Such a shame but just one of so many injustices that continue in poor countries.

Thanks Mark.
It's shocking the expansion of Chinese influence in poor nation's. Having fished all over Africa and it's island's for 30 year's, the destruction of environments and animals is increasing year on year. Building railways and roads(Belt and Road strategy) in exchange for fishing rights and land everywhere. Then the largest factory fishing fleet in the world turns up and cleans everything out.

Where does the fishmeal come from that UK baitmakers use? I've no clue.

Salmon from Norway is shipped to China, cheap labour fillet the fish, then send the salmon back to Norway. Fresh fish ?

BnR in action ... export of cheap tinned beef to African countries. Alotta folk got ill, so samples were tested(in Europe), which showed that the tinned beef was infact human flesh Cadavers making their way to the meat factory, instead of the morgue Waste not, want not Acouple of bribes here and there ,,, like it never happened.

The whole trade is pretty terrible. Definitely makes me think about using more particles and non-marine boilies

Disgusting but believable Des, the sooner this cycle of Chinese domination of poor countries natural assets ends the better.
