So the government is to bring in the Animal Sentient Bill.

Basically, the definition is any animal with a backbone is to be protected against cruelty.

Interesting times ahead for our sport.

This came to my attention a while ago.
The bill also proposes the banning of glue traps for vermin.
More wokery from Gov. and I am far from convinced that that Nut Nut is not a driving factor behind the fat oaf's policies.

Ironic. Seeing as plenty of the people making these woke suggestions don't have a backbone themselves

If not wanting animals to be subject to cruelty is woke, sign me up
They won't ban fishing, the revenue is too high. But a limit on stock density would surely be welcome?

I'm not a bit surprised...


I note several other green agenda based bills have suddenly appeared,from no where..some are now saying that Covid is the smokescreen to divert attention from some of these potential new laws or freedom removers..

I look on the government website sometimes..

Couldn't agree more. The commercial management of fisheries is what is putting our neck in the noose.
Nobody of any importance will be hurt if angling is banned, they would sell their children for votes.

Yep - got to love that carp forum hypocrisy

Man drops big fish and breaks it's tail off - outrage!

Law to protect animals from cruel practice - outrage!


As said - fishing won't be banned. Maybe some more guidelines to abide by which won't be all bad.
