Closed petition coarse fishing livebaiting

Closed on

We believe the practice of live baiting where live fish are impaled on hooks to use as bait to catch larger fish is cruel and unnecessary.
The stress caused to the baitfish by this process is immense and the practice inevitably leads to the small fish being ripped apart whilst still alive.
We call upon Parliament to ban this cruel practice.
