Cruel, Cold, Stupid ... and Hardly Sporting

In Reference to: Cruel, Cold, Stupid ... and Hardly Sporting

Well done Jenny.

Fishing is by no means an "innocuous" pastime - impaling and asphyxiating a sentient being. How can it be called "sport" when the animal in question can only, at best, break even?

This cruelty is both an endpoint and a feeder of human disconnectedness... from ourselves and from our world and our fellow human and nonhuman beings.

Time to wake up, people!
