Vegans attacking Fishing report - Help needed

[gif]

Guys - Help!

We need to each get 10 mates to send an email of support.

The anti fishing lobby is attacking Channel 9’s Gold Coast news for showing fishing reports. They will get hundreds of complaints – these Vegans are that well organized.
We need to respond with thousands of support emails to neutralize the vegans.
Maybe you would like to send something like this.

goldcoastnews@nine.com.au

Dear Channel nine

I am sorry to see you are under attack from extremists for showing fishing reports. I love fishing and so do a lot more people who don’t normally protest like these extremists.
You have my support and my thanks for showing fishing that we all love.

The Federal government reports say that 25% of all Queenslander go fishing at least once a year. The group protesting against you is run by just two people.

Sincerely
Gary Fooks


Who IS QGAR?
This is a Vegan group based in Brisbane. It seems that there are only two people behind it. They get free office facilities courtesy of the tax payer in Senator Andrew Bartlett’s Office ( Democrats Qld)

Vegan’s want to see world vegetarianism. And no more pets ( that’s slavery) and no more animal products ( so no insulin for diabetics)

From the Queensland Group for Animal Rights:
Action - Gold Coast news (Au) - nightly celebration of fishing charter kills
Each night on Channel Nine's Gold Coast News, they have a segment about 5 minutes long celebrating Charter fishing boats and the fish they have killed. The customers on the charter boats hold up these poor fish they have killed.
Gold Coast news deny they are being sponsored by these fishing charters. They also deny it is an advertisement for these fishing charters as well despite the fact they announce their name & show images of the charter boats logos. Gold Coast news even deny they have this segment each night and deny its a celebration of killing fish as entertainment.
Contact Gold Coast News: goldcoastnews@nine.com.au
goldcoastnews (at sign) nine.com.au
Express your disappointment and express the offensiveness of these daily fishing segments. Suggest they show entertainment which is not celebrating killing of innocent sentient beings and which is not advertising those who profit from it.

Sent and E-mail off and got a quick reply saying "Thanks for your Email and support we will continue to show our fishing reports"

This is what I sent..... Let you know when I have a response.

Dear Channel nine

I have just become aware that you are under attack from vegan extremists who are demanding that you shut down your fishing reports section, I am very sorry to hear this. I love fishing and I know many people do, in fact the ABS shows that fishing is Australia's most popular recreational sport. I would rather Channel 9 show more fishing related shows and reports than less. In fact I would ask that your station consider replaying the fishing segment on the Brisbane news, it would make a great difference to those like myself who travel from Brisbane to fish the coast

I hope you do not pander to those who may be in the vocal minority. If they choose a lifestyle, then thats fine for them, we should not have to adopt that lifestyle choice just because they have decided that we are in the wrong.

You have my full support, thank you for showing the fishing segment that most of us love.

Thank you,

Adam

[Adamy]

Yup quick response alright... heres mine:

"Thanks for your email and support Adam, we will continue to show the fishing segment on Thursday and Friday nights with responsible reporting".

As long as "responsible reporting" isnt removal of fish pics - then I'm happy

[jim_farrell]

Email sent. Same reply as Adam within minutes.

Well done Gary for getting onto this. Gotta stamp out this sort of nonsense as soon as it appears and before it can get a foothold.

Following is a copy of the email I sent to GC9 News

Dear Sir/Madam

It has been brought to my attention that the Gold Coast Channel Nine News has come under attack from a Vegan Group called QGAR for presenting a fishing report.

I would like to take this opportunity to publicly support the service provided by the Gold Coast News by presenting the fishing report with local content and expertise.
I hope that this extremist conservation group does not affect or impede your ability to continue to provide this valuable community service.

I have taken the liberty of having a look at their website, and there views are definitely NOT mainstream.

Fishing is a universal pastime that can be enjoyed by all - no matter who you are, how old you are, or what your occupation is.

Hi all
have just sent mind heres a copy

Dear Channel nine

I have just become aware that you are under attack from vegan extremists, a Vegan faction called QGAR for presenting a fishing report who are demanding that you shut down your fishing reports section, Fishing is a worldwide pastime that can be enjoyed by all, no matter who you are, how old you are, or what your back ground is.

I am very unhappy to hear this. I love fishing and I know many people do, I hope you do not pander to those who may be in the verbal minority. In fact the ABS shows that fishing is Australia's most popular recreational sport. You have my full support, thank you for showing the fishing segment that most of us love.
I hope this faction will not effect you in any way and the reports will keep coming it is miserable that these groups have to thrust their belief’s on others. If they choose a standard of living, then that’s fine for them, we should not have to adopt that existence choice just because they have determined that we are in the wrong. I hope that this radical conservation group does not impinge on, or obstruct your ability to continue to provide this valuable community service.

As a fisherman I look forward to your reports

Kind Regard
Steve

P.S here's the reply
Thanks for your email and support, we have had hundreds of emails of support and as always we will continue to show the fishing segment on Thursday and Friday nights with responsible reporting.

Cheers,
