All I have asked on this thread, is that you total the numbers, yet its not happening and non specific replies to my last post of BASc and Signed is just lazy. 900 views, 143 members online last night, about the same now, and only 49 ish signed. You can lead a horse to water, but can't make it drink. I have to concede, this is getting no where, and for those that can't be ***** to do anything...............well this is history in the making. ........

Cannot help but agree that the number of people entering up what was requested by the OP is pretty p** poor ! Makes me wonder having raised an eyebrow more than once about posts on this forum, actually how many of the people on here actually shoot game or vermin; and how many are actually `keyboard-shooters`.

Good question, I think that you and others have done about all you can to motivate people, just hope that the impact from those that have made an effort will have some bearing on the outcome.

A number of people on here should hold their heads in shame; they are lambasting our organisations for not being pro-active and yet havent bothered to vent their anger on the department that started all this.

I don't have an issue with them not being a member Tightchoke. Its just interesting to see who is and who isn't. Thus far, it shows a lot of people aren't members, but have still put in the effort to protect our sport. Good on you chaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Before signing the BASC petition and also emailing DEFRA, I initially wrote to my local MP, Sir Roger Gale. However, he is known for his views as being anti many things including fox hunting and has an animal rights agenda. I received a reply in which he attached his somewhat mild missive to DEFRA, but nevertheless it was indicating his displeasure at the handling of the GL. I didn`t really expect too much from him, knowing his own agenda and also how vociferous and volatile he can be over subjects closer to his heart, namely Manston Airport and its reopening, but at least he had the courtesy of replying. On a similar vein, I note that another Kent MP, Anne Widdicomb (now retired), also a keen animal rights person, has joined Nigel Farage on his Brexit party. I just wonder how their very dissimilar views on rural matters such as this will fare. Hopefully NF will have the stronger views and overpower those of AW.

I've tried but it stops when I answer the first question. As I have explained in anther thread. I have emailed both NE and DEFRA and sent some to my MP, with help from others on this forum copying theirs and tweaking into my own words. If you are not controlling birds in England or in my case don't control birds you simply cannot take this survey. Try for yourself answer no to the first question.
