On Saturday, several vegan activists gathered at a popular fishing tournament to protest eating meat.
The Wilmington Fish Save and North Carolina Farmed Animal Save organized the protest, called Vigil for Fish, to raise awareness about animal rights during the annual Wrightsville Beach Inshore Challenge, which pays out over $15,000 in cash and prizes to fishermen.
Were vegan activists, and we want to bring awareness to what fish go through," said protester Daniel Veber to WCET. Look at it from this fishs point of view. If you were in your home, you would not want a hook to be hooked in the mouth, you would not want to be pulled up, you wouldnt have to fight hours for your life to be pulled up. Its scary.
The ten protesters carried signs reading Sea life not seafood, fish feel pain, and fish want to live.
We want to come out for the fish," said Veber to WCET. "A lot of times, they look so different from us that you dont really put them into a position where you give them individual status, where they are actually individuals that want to live. They dont want to pulled out of the water, fish have families, fish want to live.

Don’t these idiots know what animals do to EACH OTHER?!

I was digging it!
They should substitute the Wild Kelp for living breathing Fish in these tournaments.
The irony: Save a fish. Kill a baby. A fish has more rights than a baby.
Will these loons be going to Africa to lobby against the eating of termites, grasshoppers, etc? Those are made of meat, too. I was wondering what to fix for dinner tonight-after reading this, I’ve decided on the salmon I have in the freezer...
There used to be a few vegans living out here-but not any more-the exposure to their neighbors grilling tasty free range meat-and catfish from the river-was too much for their protein-starved selves-they have become paleo and organic like everyone else...
Daniel Veber is the biggest pussy on the planet.

Stupid vegans, fisher people don’t eat the fish, they stuff them and hang them on the wall.
Like, go to hell! Humans evolved as carnivores, and there is no disputing it.
Weird how PETA comes out of the woodwork when a Republican is president.
There was a tv show where one of the “reality” folk was all upset over eating eggs saying they were aborted baby chicks.
Organic is one big ripoff. They use the crap instead of the chemicals the crap has to beak down into (plants can't use it as-is), and let the bugs and other critters have their share; less productive and efficient.
On a really large scale, yes-a major ripoff-and half the time it isn’t really “organic” it is just labeled that way-like the big organic farms supplying places like Whole Foods, etc-but I live in a rural area-no big box stores, no big factory farms, no feedlots-we grow our own organic produce and our livestock is free ranged-all on a very small scale, same as when I grew up on a ranch in W. Texas...
The small chain grocery store in town sells local produce as well as the stuff brought in from Cali-tourists buy that but locals usually don’t-it isn’t fresh as our locally produced stuff. If some neighbor doesn’t have mulch and a compost pile, one of us will share some for barter. You put compost on garden before Spring planting-it is already broken down, no waiting required. Then put mulch around the growing veggies in June-July to keep in the moisture-on a small scale it is very efficient and the food is chemical free...
If God didn’t want us to eat animals, he wouldn’t have made them out of meat!
