Fishing is just a socially acceptable way to torture animals for fun and a I'm tired of pretending it's not.
>>85099940i hate when people kill lobsters or shrimps or squid it's so sad it shouldn't happen
>>85099940yeah, thats why you should kill n eatem>originigger
>>85099940Okay but if you eat them then it just becomes the circle of life. So the obvious solution is to just kill and eat every fish you catch so it goes from recreational to functional. Thanks for the insight
>>85099940What about fishing for food or sustenance? Is industrial fishing in the same category? They sure as hell aren't doing it for fun.
>>85099948The way people boil lobsters and crabs alive is monstrous.>>85099954Industrial fishing is more destructive so arguably worse but hobby fishing is more destructive because you're literally stabbing a hook inside an animals mouth for your own amusement. Imagine how much that shit hurts.
>>85099940Where do you think fish come from, do they just magically appear in the supermarket?
>>85099969Being destructive has nothing to do with the thread. I'm questioning if all forms of fishing can be diminished to simple torture for fun in your worldview.
>>85099940I should be able to hunt and catch wild rabbits in the forest with a net but people like to cherrypick.
i believe in animal dignity but can't see fish as enough of an animal to give a shit about. a fish may as well be a tree or a computer.
>>85099973I'm vegan obviously. If I complained about fishing while eating fish I'd be a hypocrite, and I fucking hate hypocrites.
>>85100327Well fishing for food is more justifiable because you have an actual reason to do it rather than just for your own amusement. I still think eating meat is wrong though and the world world be better if everyone switched to a plant based diet.
>>85100427whoo are you talking about then,?
>>85099940Fishing for sport is evil yes.Fishing for food ain't.But what pisses me off most is commercial Fishing that is absolutely destroying the ocean bed, coral reefs and and the delicate ecosystem. That, and overfishing and pollution is quite litteraly killing our oceans.BUT killing animals isnt bad in and of itself, and hunting is often favorable for the environment actually.
