So what gives anglers the write to have exclusive right to our rivers? Just look at what they've done to our riverside wildlife, hunted otters out of existence,killed thousands of salmon during UDN when there was no need,killed grey seals,shot cormorants,goosander,shellduck,killed mink and pursued netsmen hardly a record to be proud of.

#132: - there are dozens of otters right through the Tamar system? UDN "disease" killed salmon not the anglers? Killed seals where exactly? Cormorants are licensed for control reasons, hundreds of them on the tamar system (they eat thousands of wild salmon parr and smolt yearly, the very reason this petition is here- for protection of the salmon) Mink were controlled by all parties near the river including farmers (are you against them now also?) Pursued netsmen? the nets where bought out for "tens of thousands" to protect the slamon stocks, no other reason. The netsmen cashed in my friend and are now trying to gain weight to get paid off with as many £££ as they can squeeze.  Where are you people getting the deluded info from, or are you just making it up as you go along?
