I know this blog post annoys some of my friends who love the “sport” and I’m not a vegan or even a vegetarian but I have to state fishing appears cruel. For while many oppose hunting because you kill an animal at least the death of such an animal is quick with one gun shot while the fish struggles for air during it’s time of death. Can you imagine being taken out of earth and struggling to take your last breath? I also understand that this “sport” brings fathers & sons together for a day in the nature but isn’t there another activity that could be just as satisfying. Many will say I’m a hypocrite because I love to eat fish but there is a difference between eating a fish and having their life and death used for my amusement. There are many that catch and release a fish and that is definitely better then the alternative yet I’m sure the fish don’t find this activity amusing for them. For my fisherman friends I know this blog post wasn’t your favorite but I thought it was a perspective you should consider and maybe also a different leisurely activity.
