In Britain
country sports are under constant attack - partly by genuinely
misguided people who tend to see the world of nature through
rose-tinted spectacles and partly by ignorant bigots who try to poison the minds of
impressionable young people (and some older folk who should know
better!).
The
only way to counter this menace is to support the national
organisations that promote and protect the sports of fishing and
shooting. No-one deserves the privilege of carrying a rod or gun in
Britain unless they also carry the card of at least one of those
organisations. Find out more by visiting their websites.
The
Salmon
and Trout Association is the country's main organisation
for game anglers and they support a great deal of research. In
Scotland, anglers should also belong to
SANA.
Internationally,
it is also worth supporting the
Atlantic
Salmon Federation - after all, salmon know no national
boundaries.
The
British
Association for Shooting and Conservation
is, without doubt, the first organisation that any sporting Shot
should join. Put bluntly, no-one in Britain deserves to carry a
shotgun in the field unless they also carry a BASC membership card
in their pocket.
British Association for Shooting and
Conservation
The
Countryside
Alliance grew out of the old British Field Sports Society. Despite their "telly-tubby" logo, they do
much sterling work fighting for the countryside.
