Woodstock Magistrates Hear RSPCA Live Bait Case
A panel of Oxford magistrates ruled against using live fish as bait under the Protection of Animals Act. Frederick Margetts, a Woodstock worker, pleaded not guilty to causing unnecessary suffering. The chair, Mr J R Wonders, indicated the offence was not against live baiting generally but against the specific method. Gordon Jones, for the RSPCA, said the practice was confined to a small anglers’ group and would be discontinued.
