Stop Brexit!
As a guy who lives in the Scottish Highlands, before I sign I wonder how people feel about fishing for pleasure ? , is that considered a cruel sport ?
Thanks Gordon.
Cruelty is involved, but that's not what the grouse petition is about, it was started because of the rampant illegal activity (raptor killing) closely associated with driven grouse shooting. Many, perhaps most, of the signers of the grouse petition have no problem with grouse shooting if it is carried out within the law.
Having said that, some illegal activity is associated with fishing interests, particularly the wealthier salmon fisheries: Ospreys, Cormorants, Goosanders, Otters, etc., being killed illegally on some rivers. But the problem is much less than on the grouse moors.
Illegal commercial fishing (like that done by the boat involved in the brexit demo reported here) is another matter, but I doubt a petition would have much effect in a situation like this.
