Dyed Fish Sales Not Being Outlawed In Uk

One last bump from me.

Obviously the mods don't care enough about dyed fish sales to pin it and it keep dropping off the page quickly so I assume nobody else can be bothered either.

I agree we should keep this one on! Come on peeps if you care about fish then help us to get it banned it will only take a couple of mins to do it!
 
I have copied and pasted into letter format and I will post the letter later on today.

Thanks for making us aware of this : :nod:
 
This is fantastic. Thank you for your hard work here. I have just emailed my MP.

I can only assume that the moderators here do care, but maybe are not able to get involved in any political matters ? just an assumption though? Hopefully they just haven't seen it yet or something.
 
BUMP

I have now emailed my MP as well. Also, my girlfriend is at uni studying Law and for a seminar they need to prepare a protest for something, so I have pointed her in this direction and is now researching up on it!

Thats great news Adam, tell her to look at Death By Dyeing as a start for research.

Great Job Arfie! :hooray:
I haven't see any dyed fish for sale lately in the U.S. -- I wonder if it's been outlowed here ....looking into it now.
Anyway, your letter is bound to get the consideration it deserves.

Defenders of the Fishes UNITE!
 
and second that was a little harsh...
I assume you mean my "mods don't care enough" statement?

If so, I don't think it is harsh, because:


* I've asked at the beginning of this thread if it could be pinned or moved or duplicated.
* Several members have also asked for it to be pinned.
* I have requested it to be pinned in the appropriate thread in Site Suggestions
* Another member started another thread pointing out that no mod had acted or commented on the request in suggestions, which also got no reply from the mods HERE

So draw your own conclusions ;)

Hi Arfie,
Good letter I have copied it & will send to my MP
"It will rock in the Kop 2morrow" :nod:
 
If this topic gets pinned it sets the precedent for all other "let's stop fish cruelty" threads to get pinned, and considering the sheer number of such threads, that just isn't possible without us finding ourselves drowning in them. Sure, it's an important issue, but this is a regional matter that, according to a recent poll, concerns less than half of all TFF members. I'd wager that it hasn't been pinned because it honestly isn't pin worthy for the reasons stated above.
 
Thank you for your email and for altering me to ways in which this Bill
could be improved.

I have written to the Secretary of State, Margaret Beckett, on your
behalf to raise these issues and will write to you again as soon as I
receive a reply.

The Bill is in the middle of its passage through the House. It has
received a Second Reading (a one day debate on the general approach and
intentions of the Bill) and has just completed its Commons Standing
Committee stage during which the Bill is considered in detail, clause
by
clause and line by line. Next Tuesday, 14th March, the Committee will
report back to the House and any amendments that were made in Committee
will be confirmed, or deleted. At the same time this Report Stage
allows the opportunity to table and debate New Clauses that might be
added to the Bill.

If the Bill passes through Report it is ssent to the House of Lords
where all the above stages (Second Reading, Committee and Report) are
repeated after which it returns to the Commons (sometime in the summer
session) for us to accept or reject any changes that the Lords may have
made. Only then does it go to receive the Royal Assent, and become
law,
probably by the end of the year.

So you can see that there remain several stages at which amendments
that
achieve the sort of changes that you seek can be made.

I am not the right MP to table or speak to those amendments as I know
nothing about these issues but you can be certain that there will be
MPs, of all parties, who will be pursuing them.

I will write to you when I've heard from Margaret Beckett.

Best wishes

Mark Fisher
