Poorfishy (http://news.yahoo.com/fc?tmpl=fc&cid=34&in=science&cat=animal_news)
I wonder how much they spent on this research...and why?
And who were the sadists who came up with the idea?
-
Holy Crap ! I think if they injected bee venom and Acid in my lips, even if I were Dead, I'd kick their Arse !! :eek: :eek:
-
Can't eat anything with a face.
Now, fish have feelings, and soybean probably feel pain. So, what's left to eat.
I know, we can live off Knits and Bish!
:D :D :D
-
I've got something that'll stop all the pain. Poor little fishies. :(

Soon they'll forget all about that hook in their lip! :D
SOB

friggin' libs..
-
Fish feel pain.
Fortunately they are also tasty.
Git in mah belly!
-
lol SOB.
My point in this post is that "OF COURSE" fish feel pain...so what? The animal activists are undoubtedly the ones who sponsored this "study" in which they get scientists to inject acid and bee venom into the lips of the fish....all to prove how cruel fishing is?
One can only shake one's head at such logic.
-
Animals are tasty, and it's fun to kill them. The treehuggers need to get over it.
-
"If man was not meant to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?"
-
I like this one:
"I don't eat vegetables...that is what FOOD eats".
-
how about there near death experience stories after a catch-and-release episode.
"I was being pulled to this bright light, suddenly all water was gone, I couldn't breath, I was IN THE BOAT MAN!"
-
no doubt.. which is more cruel..
catch and release causes so much trauma that the fish have to live with the rest of their lives!!! cripes.. how cruel
now, imagine.. just catch and kill.. trauma over quicker (shock then death.. very quick), no long lasting effects on the poor widdle fishies mind
Fish FRY !!!
-
Seems it was less silly when all they had to say was "We know it hurts them because they told us."

Kittens, I LOVE kittens, Espically when they are lightly breaded and deep fried !:D
-
I think the message here is that anglers shouldn't coat their hooks with bee venom. I can go along with this.

yeah, tender.. but their ribs are very small... hard to hold
-
those activists have a point that catch and release fishing is morally wrong.
Its like going to the nearest kennel and start choppin' dog tails left and right with a machete and call it a relaxing sport.
When I fish I fish to eat what I catch. If I catch 10 trout in 1 day I sure as heck will freeze and eat them in the coming weeks. The little ones I deep fry.
But to just go into a lake to "hook" fish is a distasteful "sport" in my opinion.
On the other hand, those animal activists sure get out of control with their fanatism, which is why no one pays attention to them until they sit in front of heavy machinery or threaten to crash their rubber zodiacs into 150 ton whaling ships :rolleyes:
-
I guess I'm distasteful then. I fish for sport, and I rarely keep anything I catch. I hardly think that chopping off dogs' tails would be as relaxing as lounging by/on a lake with your pole in the water, but I'm willing to try anything once. I'll let you know how it turns out!
SOB
-
SOB, its actually more relaxing to find the nearest activist protest, grab that baseball bat, and do drive-by-whackin' .
:D
-
Or, what if I combine that into my fishing hobby. I could bait a big hook with some tofu or wheat grass, and toss it in the middle of a PETA convention!
On second thought, those scrawny vegans wouldn't put up much of a fight. Might as well just fish for minnows.
SOB
-
like SOB I don't keep much that I catch, and I catch a lot.
oh.. and never from a pond/lake :)
-
catch and release is pretty stupid. if your gonna fish at least have respect for the damn fish and eat it.
-
Anybody who has ever filleted a live fish knows they feel pain just by thier reaction to the knife cutting through thier meat. Yeah it must really suck for the fish to have that happen. I've often seen them still moving in the trash can 15 min after I cut 90% of the muscle off thier bodies. Worst part for them must be not being able to close their eyes and having to watch the whole thing. "They" say bass have the same type of eyesight as humans and can see just as well in or out of water. THAT"S GOTTA SUCK!
Dang I want to go fish'n. And I keep what I catch if I don't have meat in the freez. Otherwise it's catch and release to make more fish....
-
Life is short, hungry, and usually ends abruptly and horribly for fish. Fish understand this and live with it. Whether a mad fisherman clubs him to death or whether some bigger fish comes along and chews him up...it makes no difference to fish.
-
Trout trauma is nothing compared to the "wheat willies" that entire generations of wheat feel as the combine approaches.
-
They must really hate it when I get em through the eye.
Imagine the pressure these egg heads feel to do a report on something.
lol
As to catch and release. Hell yes I release em. I want to hurt em again when they have put on a few pounds. Only ones I keep are the ones that took the hook too hard or that just straight tired themselves so much I dont think they will make it.
I dont care if that is cruel I want to catch em again.
If I was into cliping dogs tails I would clip them a bit at a time so that there was allways a few arround to clip. Imagine how mean those dogs would be when you walked up to them the third time!
thats good sport baby

I hope you guys aren't eating fish out of major rivers. The river systems in the U.S. are very polluted. In my county in Kentucky, there is no public water that is clean enough to SWIM in. Fish all have high levels of mercury and some 3 letter chemical in them.

Yeah, most of the lakes in East Texas are like that :( There's advisories out not to eat more than 2.5 lbs of Bass in a month. Not all fish keep the mercury in thierr systems like bass do. Catfish don't I believe...

Speaking of good sport, I saw a zodiak flying a greenpeace flag get run over by the USS Ranger in Vancouver. Now that was fun to watch. Wish I was drivin!...er, the CV that is.

only fresh water fish i will eat i catch in the north west. eating any kind of freshwater fish caught in the south is asking for trouble.

actually yes, I do.
However, our water is clean.. extremely clean.
You can drink the water from the stream.. if you don't mind a little 'green apple quick-step' from the duck poop ! lol
seriously, our water is drinkable from the stream
