"“It is a prolonged, slow death most of the time” the video says.."

Clubbing the fishies head when first caught quickly ends the misery.

But of course killing unborn babies is not cruel, is it, you idiots.

I think that’s fair.

The next best thing to do is club PETA activists.

Unlike many Freepers I've never been into fishing. My Dad used to have a joke about fishing (he didn't fish either):

One guy says to another "I'm going fishing"."You got the worms"? was the response."Yah,but I'm going anyway".

I entirely agree with PETA here...absolutely barbaric! /s

But cattle ranching OTOH....

PETA is all for killing human babies, just not furry animals.

I was discussing this with a halibut friend and he said that yes at times he and his fellow fish do feel harassed, so there.

True story:

I have trout fished in the Smoky Mtns Nat’l Park all my life...Back in the ‘80’s I saw where PETA was holding a protest at Sugarlands Ranger Station against trout fishing...They were saying “Can’t you hear the poor trout screaming on the nd of the line?”
Normally, I release most all I caught...Only kept a ouple to et every now and then, but this day, I kept a nice rainbow about 10-11 inches long...
I went over to the station and PETA people saw me in my fishing gear and started in on me...”There’s one!!! There’s one of those fish killers!!!”

I reached into my creel and pulled out the still wiggling trout and said “Can you hear it scream?” and took a bite out of it’s side...

One girl screamed and threw up...The others gasped and started backing up and crying and yelling...

Fred Bradley, a ranger buddy of mine came out of the station, saw me and what I did, and said “Oh...It’s you...” and went back inside...

It was hilarious....

And those pest strips you hand on the patio kill thousands of innocent insects just minding their own business. And those ant traps are cruel and inhuman treatment of the little critters. And when you tell the waiter that there’s a fly in your soup, you say it with thanks as you rescue the little guy.

So what happens to most fish? Do they die a peaceful death in old age?

Has it ever dawned on PETA that the fish we catch were actually trying to eat another fish...ALIVE! So in reality, we are saving multiple fishes lives by fishing.

“...urging all anglers to become vegans...”

Someone on another thread said to a vegan “We killed a cow that was eating your food...You’re welcome...”

I'm betting every fisherman in the world just threw away his rod, net, lures, tackle, and livelihood for fear of offending PETA.

Yes, they're that powerful.
