KEEP THE TRADITION OF SALMON NETTING ON THE TAMAR TAVY

This petition is not a farce your contributions are. It is a historical fact the 'gentry' hunted and killed all wildlife for 'sport' and greed and still do. Ask the RSPB cormorants,shag,marsh harriers and other birds of prey.shellduck,gosander, fox,deer, badgers and even salmon and all because of jealousy, greed and an illconceived notion that you and the other 'Colonel Blimps' have a god given right to be sole beneficiary of our aquatic and rural environment.You and your ilk live in the past hankering over a long lost 'Colonial' world where rank and privilege ruled and  you just took what you wanted by force and yes kids were sent up the chimneys as part of that era . As then you're only in it for the money a lucrative tax free,vat free,rates free,existence handed to you on a plate by a class system invented to reward the rich at the expense of the poor and administered by an ineffectual EA and at the expense of other Tamar stakeholders.
Conservation has only become part of your vocabulary because it gives you access to 'soft'grants and public money with very little or no scrutiny or audit. You are the only recognised stakeholder group never to contribute to the running costs of the River Authority/NRA/EA over the last seventy years yet you still get most of the grants and perks and always have.
