Respect your elvers

Think rhino, think elephant, think magnificent beasts commanding respect. African goldmines for traders in horns and tusks. Illegal hunting towards extinction by slimy, unscrupulous criminals must be stopped.

Other less impressive creatures are equally exploited by villains, but these slimy ones don't operate in the African plains. They're here in the UK, thigh deep in water. Slippery young whippersnappers are snapped up, in their millions. Slimy baby eels!

Over thirty years, population has plummeted, but still millions are caught illegally and shipped out east in specially adapted suitcase. Oriental rumour has it they give strength!

It's an elver problem too!
