I think some of the people on the RISAA list are doing just what a lot of people do (us included) on an issue and jump in with two feet all fast and furious. I personally support the legislation without question but I'm not quite ready to pigeon-hole those shops in question because of their stance against or neutral on this position.
I have had good conversations with shop owners, that for this argument will remain nameless, that would forgo ALL pogies for a few years if that would really help the fish stocks (slightly different issue granted, fish stocks -v- Bay health).
I would encourage those shops to reconsider their support, certainly if the issue is short term profit & ease. But harsh fighting amongst "ourselves" as a usergroup would be handing a defeat to this legislation.
Someone wants to vote with their wallet, nothing wrong with that. But don't divide "us" on the premise of this matter.
Ooops - water's burning, soapbox off
