Tope - Good News At Last

[tommy a]

Chaps,

Im a member of the shark preservation group run by a chap called Ian Burrett - and hes sent an e mail round to say that the fisheries minister has agreed that tope can only be caught by rod and line - stopping the twat in Lowestoft who was preparing to target them for sale abroad.

As his e mail says - at long last its some good news - details as follows :

His group is www.save-our-sharks.org

Its well worth a look at how they have succeeded with spurdog catch laws as well - I dont know much about sharks but everything and anything that I can add my name to for petitioning our pathatic government is worth while as far as Im concerned.

Excellent news Tommy. Good to hear that killing sharks just for their fins is to be banned too....
